[Harp-L] Playing electric

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

 Hi
I thought that I would share some thoughts about the art of playing 
amplified harmonica.

It is useful to adopt a grip on your harp and mic that keeps them at a 
fixed and constant distance from each other but not touching. If they 
touch, your harp sound will be interspersed with clunking sounds as your 
harp touches the mic housing.

It can be hard to hear your self clearly when amplified as when you get 
in front of the speakers you increase the chance of feedback.

To get around this, go out from your mic to something that will let you 
use headphones. Most desks will let you do this. So by doing this you 
have made it so that you examine the sound your making with out getting 
feedback. Give it a try-D
