[Harp-L] Hohner brings Howard Levy and Michael Timler to Australia

[Tony Eyers <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Over the last week Howard Levy and Michael Timler toured Australia, 
courtesy of Hohner (thanks guys)

As of 2010, Michael has been in charge of maintenance at Hohner. He's 
been busy, the result a set of videos on key aspects of harmonica 
maintenance and repair, with a toolkit to match. Visit 
http://hohner-cshop.eu/cms/index.php/en/ for details. It's the first 
time this information has been presented so clearly, as far as I know. 
Worth a look, even just to hear Steve Baker describe it all.

Howard did a Saturday night concert, followed by a workshop on Sunday. 
If you haven't heard Howard play, then you must. The experience is hard 
to describe. Immensely humbling, enormously uplifting. I suspect that 
few players of any instrument have exceeded their peers in the way that 
Howard exceeds us. And all of it goes towards the music. His workshop 
was low key and great. He talked about his approach to the instrument 
and how it relates to his keyboard playing. He opened it with blues in 
12 keys, all on a A harmonica, going up a semitone after each chorus.
