Re: [Harp-L] full set of 364's



I got a full set of the old 364's, nicely tuned and fitted with black dymonwood combs by Burke Treischmann and Jon Harl. Sound great, Huge tone!

 The 12-hole Marine Band #364 model is
 currently available in Low C, Low D, and G. The recordings
 of him I've heard from the early 1960s, including concert
 film, seem to use only the Low C and Low D. If he used other
 low keys, I haven't heard them.

 Subject: [Harp-L] low tuned harps for Rice Miller
  
 
 Has anyone been using the low tuned harps for Sonny Boy II
 (Rice Miller) tunes?
 
 
 He used the 12-hole richter tuned Marine Bands that used to
 be available in several keys before only C was available.
 
 
 These harps had a low first octave (lower than the standard
 10-hole).
 
 
 And since this is the main focus of Rice Miller, why not?
 Since the harps he used are no longer available.
