Balderdash, I say!!!
There should definitely be a separate harp forum for every type of harp
there is... Who needs cross-pollination of instruments and/or musical
ideas and styles, genres, cultures, personal tastes or religious
affiliation?? Not me, brother. I like what I like, and that's what I like.
We could each be safe and sound. We wouldn't have to face the challenges
and rigors of accepting different ideas or musical tastes or cultural
influences. Yep. A separate forum for everyone.
Lessee... here's a brief rundown of the great forums we could consider:
One for diatonic
One for chromatic (sub groups for 12-hole vs. 16-hole)
One for diatonic played chromatically
One for chromatic played diatonically
One for chord harp
One for bass harp
One for echo harp (octave harps considered on case-by-case basis)
One for minor tuned diatonic (with sub-groups for harmonic minor and
harmonic minor)
One for diminished tuned harps (other tunings considered on case-by-case
basis)
One for blues harp music
