Re: Subject: [Harp-L] Chromatic vis-a-vis Diatonic harps

Why not Play both!? Check Pablo out, starts on Diatonic then to Chrom and at 
the end his  amzing Flute Work! The Type of Axe is just a tool, it's the 
Musicianship that makes the difference......playing more than one axe WILL 
make you a better player....
