[Harp-L] RE: Ashokan Farewell

[Roger Myerson <rmyerson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ashokan Farewell lays beautifully on a fourkey harp.
If you're really willing to consider special tunings, you can learn 
about fourkey harmonicas at
https://4keyharps.wordpress.com/
You can buy them from Seydel.

I will try it on my chromatics but I believe it just won't have that special sound this piece demands.  YouTube is scarce with harmonica playing this tune.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to master this tune without special tunings.  If special tunings are requires I may go so far as to go that route.  I really love the song.
