"Interesting.  Some of the keys obviously work better than others in  
terms of pitch. That's to be expected.  Even Howard Levy switches  
harps."

It's still a work in progress, my Fm and F#m scales are not yet  
"finished" to be worked out (It'll never be for sure), but I still  
think that it's playable and can be pretty on on C harmonica

"What are you using for the envelope filter effect?"

I'm using an auto-wha, within GarageBand the Apple software.

"That's a useful way to disguise and even out the attacks of bent/ 
overblown/natural pitches."

What I've learned from amplification is that it's  more amplifying the  
defect of a player than hiding them . I've used the Auto-Wha for 2  
reasons: 1st this is the kind of effect that JJ Milteau was using when  
he played this song the 1st time I've seen him on stage. The 2nd one  
is that I find it nice and funky, I've done other videos very less  
difficult to play and I was using this....(and of course I can refer  
you to the Bach concerto I've made or the Harmonica Versus Bass video  
on my youtube, both are completely acoustic with the only reverb  
effect ).....

"Christelle, are you worried that someone is going to come after you  
for royalties on all the pieces you're posting to YouTube?  With over  
a million hits, might get some of that kind of attention.  It's why I  
don't post other people's tunes to YouTube."

I'm not worried about that since I've actually bought the backing  
tracks and if someone is asking something to pay for some of my video,  
then the negotiation will interest me and the individual.

Richard thanks for your feedback anyay
