[Harp-L] A couple of questions

[Ken Banks <edits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aloha everybody,

I met a guitar player yesterday who wants to do a duo thing at an 
open mic in a few weeks. He wants to play two tunes, something in a 
minor key and one requiring the only key I don't own --  Db (or does 
the harp come in C#?). I've never learned to play in a minor key on a 
major harp. I'd be grateful for a few tips on this. Also, what do 
people think about minor key harps? If I use a minor key harp, what 
key would I use relative to the key of the tune, and what position 
would I use?

To buy the Db, what mail-order seller do people like for harps? I'm 
sure this has been discussed to death before, but I don't know how to 
find the thread. Sorry to have to bring it up again.

Just a note: I sent the old Chromonika III I bought and posted about 
earlier to Dave Payne for refurbishing. I can't wait to get that baby 
back! Thanks again to everyone here who wrote to me with info and 
ideas about that harp. I'm going to try to do it justice.

Happy playing to all,
Ken
