[Harp-L] Ninth?
I set up a practice track in Bm so as to practice fifth position a few
minutes ago. Picked up the Eb harp by mistake and at first was lost at
sea, wondering where my fifth postion notes had disappeared to. I knew I
had picked up the wrong harp, but rather than lose the moment I kept up and
started finding all kinds of interesting licks and pathways and really
started exploring.
Took a look at the harp, did the math and realized I was in ninth position,
a place I had not ever gone in 44 years of diatonic harp playing. Now I
want to write some material for this position. It turns out to be a
perfectly honorable minor position.
Anyone else working in Ninth?
