[Harp-L] re: Buying a chromatic

[Jonathan Ross <jross38@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you just looking to buy a new chrom for fun or is there something  
about the ones you have now which you don't like and thus want a  
different instrument?

Assuming the former, for something really different I'd suggest the  
Suzukie Tremolo-Chromatic, SCT-128.  It's expensive, but unique, and  
you could do some nice Zydeco-style stuff on it (not too far removed  
from blues).  Here's a review:

A cheaper alternative might be to simply get a chromatic in a key  
other than C.  If you're mostly doing third-position type blues, I'd  
think D might be a good try, since you would get E and F (with the  
slide in).

If it's the former and you just aren't satisfied with the instruments  
you have now, then knowing what you like and don't like might help  
people in giving you advice.

Hope this helps.
