Re: [Harp-L] Define terms fluid = legato

I Agree Phil, BOTH harps allow for Fluid, Legato and some cool bending, I 
have always tryed to bring techniques back and forth between the Diatonic 
and Chromatic....


Here's a version of 'Black Orpheus' I did to a play along track: the tempo 
is a bit faster than I wanted to play it but it still works....

non-notes) just like the slide trombone than the chromatic.

((Both harps are equally fluid -- it all depends on the player. The
unspoken issue here is "bendability." The diatonic has more bends, therefore 
it
musts be more "fluid." (Playing the diatonic without bends is not fluid?)
