Re: [Harp-L] key of low F

[Grant Walters <grant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Low F

Try out some Baritone sax horn blasts....horn parts that do not require fluid melodic lines....back up the band.
Get the Oakland Stroke...funkify....gets you away from the high ear pierce of the high F and even better ...
Then switch back to the high F for the solo...

Third position on the low F is way cool....too...
I Wondering about the comment on other brands...I like my sp 20 low F but 
are there others that are easier to play?

Take a blow,

Are the low F harps easy/fun to play? What kind of songs sound good in low F? Can they be played in second position? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
