Re: [Harp-L] solo vocal and 14 hole marine band in C

So far my experience with soldering reeds to lower pitch is less than stellar.   Half-valving just doesn't satisfy me either. Circular tuning is on my list.  I'm wondering if I would like and use fourkey and how the power chromatics work out?   Flattening the comb and reed work is the most productive in sound improvements.  Reshaping the whole silhouette and sealing is the easiest and eye-pleasing for me.  Last May between his sets Howard Levy really admired my first self-customized 365 and marveled at how non-leaking it is.  My goal is to have a collection of all keys in 364/365's.  It gets better.....

Hey Larry,
The funny thing my latest hobby is Buying old 365s from eBay and refurbishing them!
I am retuning them to different tunings--I made a fourkey from one, also a couple of power chromatics with the tonic chord in the root position, one in C and one in G. 
I made one in circular tuning and sold it to a student!
