Re: [Harp-L] Re: YouTube-Les Thompson - and Cham-Ber Huang

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's the weird part.

Cham-Ber Huang plays harmonicas with the low notes on the left (same as most players) but with the slide button also on the left - extremely unusual, and perhaps completely unique.

Why? He says it's because the first chromatic harmonica he received in China as a youngster was set up that way, so that's how he learned to play.

I was watching with amazment at Les Thompsons playing and then noticed that he's working the button with his left hand.   Is he playing the chromo backwards?   Not that it's the wrong way to play.   I was wondering how many chromo players on the list play this way.
I've seen some diatonic player play with the high notes on the left but never a chromo player.
