Re: Re [Harp-L] Blind Owl talks about volume

[MundHarp@xxxxxxx]

Well, I have been playing my harmonica for more years than I care to  
admit...
I've played most all kinds of music, acoustic through to what used to be  
called "progressive rock" which was louder than a jet aircraft taking off.
Quite honestly, when the music gets too loud, people can't actually HEAR  
it. Yes it's fun to play through that big amplifier with the volume setting 
on  "11". But, mostly music actually sounds MUCH better when it is less loud  
than that.
In my opinion, one of the best things is to vary the volume a lot,  and 
introduce "dynamics" into the music....
Just my 2c worth.
