Re: [Harp-L] Help me position/key

[Seth Galitzer <sethgali@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who gave me input on this.  I played around some with it 
last night.  I don't have a minor harp, so I tried F in 3rd and Cmaj in 
2nd.  The F lay the best for me, though I wish I had a Low F now.  I 
admit, I'm not good enough yet to bend down the Cmaj to play a minor 
key, so that'll take more practice.  I appreciate the advice.
