[Harp-L] Accompanying oneself with percussion

[Richard Hammersley <rhhammersley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seeing Brendan Powers' rings and delay as percussion video reminded me:

I came across "Meo finger bells" see
www.rainsticktrading.com/Downloads/Meo.pdf

A couple of years ago and bought one. They are made in Northern  
Vietnam.  It is a donut shaped metal ring with metal beads inside. I  
wear it on the ring finger of my right hand, holding harp in left  
hand. It gives a very broad range of percussive sounds and can be  
incorporated into the normal hand actions of playing, rather than  
taking the right hand out of harmomica technique like, say, a  
tambourine would. I don't have any recordings of it yet. I use it in  
our band (guitar, bass, harp) too.
