Wow! I have NEVER heard anyone do many things (double draw (0ne bent, one not), deep flutters, etc., even from my favorite harpists. I have been never heard of Corky Siegel. He is fantastic. I love his style even without those unusual feats. Where does he live? Is he a Harp-L member?

> Sounds like you have something there. Great job! I was wondering if the tape would be effective with Hohner's Flexrack harmonica holder. When I put some types of harps (mainly the Golden Melody harps) in the "gripping" vice on the Flexrack, the harps tend to "slip" somewhat after a minute or two pushing forward when being played. Do you think (1) the tape on these harps will help hold the position better, and (2) Do you have a Flexrack by chance (or something very similar) to test and let me know what you think. Thank you so much in advance for your comments/advise.
