[Harp-L] Re: Ode challenge

[Steve Baker <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On studio sessions I usually avoid using bends such as the much  
discussed whole tone on 3-draw when playing melodies which demand  
clearly defined intonation and where the note has to be sustained  -   
for the reasons already mentioned in other posts on this topic,  
producers don't really like the sound. It's a different matter if the  
piece is in a bluesy, rock or country vein, but if they want a clean  
melody, I'll look for another way to play that note, such as a  
different position or tuning. When the studio clock is running it's  
the result that counts and a satisfied customer will hopefully mean  
another job in future,
