[Harp-L] Alternate 'fingering' on the diatonic

["David Priestley ( for harp-L)" <dmharpman@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi
For this post I'm thinking of a diatonic harp in C and referring to the 
G on draw 2 and the same G on blow 3. I have found that I will use both 
at different times. Much like the pairs of C's on the chromatic. I use 
the rule of thumb to  play the upper of the two when playing an acceding 
line and the lower one when playing a descending line in a melody. Like 
most ideas there are times when you need, for what ever reasons go 
against this convention but that said it's not a bad rule of thumb to 
try and be flexible to asses each case on its needs and merits.
Yours David
