Re: [Harp-L] Getting a diatonic sound on a chromatic harmonica

Hi,
Robert, I can agree with you on that and Larry Adler often did things just with the use of his hands alone that often sounded more like it came from a diatonic, so I also find that to be just flat out silliness, kinda like the harmonica version of racial prejudice. Over the years, just mentioning anything that sounds like it has something remotely to do with a diatonic is an automatic bounce out from them.

I know Stevie sometimes has a sort of diatonic sound on the chromatic,  
mostly by use of a bend type vibrato.  William Galison has messed with  
half valves and of course other players have messed with different  
tunings- that old Koch chromo set up.  With a lot of bend and throat  
vibrato I sometimes manage that sound.  It's just one of the colors in  
a large pallet though, not an end to itself in my opinion.

But why the chromo list would be upset by the subject beats me.


Harmonically yours,
