Re: [Harp-L] Chromatic vs. Diatonic harps

["rob paparozzi" <chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a Chromatic you can depress the button, hold it over an annoying persons head, release the button and lay a metal "Nuggie" on them.

Sam,

Sorry, I couldn't resist!,-)

But the real answer to your question is this.  A Chromatic Harp allows you to play ALL the notes w/o ANY bends or OB's or OD's

However, it does allow for marginal bending but nowhere as extensive as the Diatonic allows

Best,
Rob Paparozzi

What does a Chromatic harmonica do that a Diatonic with sufficient
proficiency in bending-for-note techinques can't?
