[Harp-L] Position = Location of a starting note

[The Iceman]

dh sez:

<<So again even though there is a logic in the way you explain positions there is still no harmonic foundation or benefit in the visualization of the instrument or communication to other musicians
If you tell the pianist you play in 2nd position what does he think you’re doing ?>>

May we agree that talking positions works amongst the harmonica community in relaying ideas, talking about blues solos, etc, and playing other forms of music if your only instrument is harmonica. 


Talking positions does not translate outside of harmonica into the larger music community.


So, it is a benefit for harmonica players, but not others.


Is this what we are debating?
