Re: [Harp-L] Cold Duck Time

[Richard Hunter <turtlehill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I realized after reading this that I've been playing the melody incorrectly for, like, ever--substituting an Eb (draw 2 double bend) for the low Ab.  My guess is that no one complained up to now because they thought I was harmonizing it on purpose.  Oh well...

Anyway, the melody lays out in 5th position (in the key of F, that means a Db harp), which would give you both the high and low flat 3rd.  However, playing up in that octave might not be ideal.  Also, I don't know if I'd want to take the solo in 5th position.  Lots more to work with in 2nd, I think.

Did somebody say "play it on the chromatic"?  Hmmm...
