Re: [Harp-L] Huang Star Performer

I'm not sure what you like specifically about the sound of the Star performer, so it's hard to say what else might sound like it.

You also don't say why, if you like the sound o the Star preformer, you're looking to play something else instead that sounds like it.

If that's the harp you like the best, why don't you learn some customizing skills so that you can make it work better for you? 

For instance, if you want to play overblows, you might comb the harp-l archives for tips on how to set up Lee Oskars for overblows. The shorter reed lengths used on some Asian harps, including Oskars and Huangs, pose certain challenges for overblowing, and some of the reed modifications that you can make to an Oskar might also be beneficial on a Star Performer. Also, some of the more general customizing tips available here and in my book, Harmonica For Dummies, and in other sources, might be helpful.

Hi all! I had several harps, including hohner, Suzuki, hering and huang. The
thing is that I like the sound of the star performer and I would like to
know if someone knows wich high quality harp sounds like a star performer. I
like Suzuki bluesmaster performance and I have a golden melody but I would
like to know if there is a harp that sounds more like the star
performer(maybe a seydel harp?? I didn't try any of these).If there is some
harmonica like this that I can overblow would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Wadi
