RE: [Harp-L] Chord Harp

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But what one can do... In this era... Is to figure out the
partials/substitute chords for one's preferred style of music, grow
accustomed to the sorts of movements required to hit those said
substitutes/partials and then wail away.
Granted, it's not for everybody, but I think I'll soon be able to play
rhythm in various current musical idioms without much trouble

The Chord layout to me looks like it is meant to play tunes from another
era. All of those diminished an augmented chords are from a song writing era
of years gone by. Even though it says 48 chords playing notes from upper and
lower holes of adjacent chords could give you more chords.. I don't know of
any method books on the chord but one would be a big help.

My harp bag includes all the diatonic keys and three respectable chromatics.
Besides playing Polkas, is there any good reason to add a chord harp to my
collection, and if so, which one might be recommended? Will working with a
chord harp improve my diatonic and chromatic, blues, jazz and classical
playing?  Can I entertain myself by having one? (Or would I bore myself to
death?) What would be a moderate priced chord harp to purchase. I hope these
questions don't sound too stupid!
