Re: [Harp-L] harmonica terminology

["Doug" <mr4chnt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can see how I might use your sugggestion in other situations but here I am writing about all the mechanical bits and pieces and how they interact.  In this situation the word 'postition' is already called upon when discussing the position of springs, slides, etc.  

Thanks though,

  In my presentations covering the design of the chromatic
  harmonica, I use the term "positions" as in, "each hole, or
  position, has four notes available to the player".  From
  then on during the presentation I use the term "position".
  Works for us.

  I am wondering if there is a more refined term in use than
  'hole' to describe where we huff and puff on a harmonica,
  especially in reference to the chromatic or other harmonicas
  with a mouthpiece.

  Or if there is no good term in use, do you have any
  suggestions?  

  Port, vent, aperture, opening, channel ???

  Since I'd be very surprised if there are no suggestions . .
  . thanks in advance!
