[Harp-L] Which key ? Bandoneon Sound

[aolmos@xxxxx]

Hi Mustafa - 

I'm far from being an expert on the subject, but based on my experience the chromatic harmonica is the way to go. I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions but  Hugo Diaz is the grandfather of the style and he played chromatic harmonicas. Contemporary players like Franco Luciani, Joe Powers, Antonio Serrano and Martin Allegro also play the chromatic harmonica.  If you are interested in  Libertango, Martin Allegro has a great solo version in his "Solo Armonica" cd, plus he teaches harmonica online.
