Re: [Harp-L] transferring instruments - sax to harp

Like I have been saying for years. One mouth can never compete with 10 fingers. And switching keys is not the problem. The LAYOUTm of the notes is the important factor. Breath switching is the enemy. Slide action is the friend. And hardly ANY tunes were ever laid out to account for how they fit on a harmonica. Least of all sax (based) tunes. lolol
