[Harp-L] Position and Key harp

[Larry Sandy]

Hi Peter.  Good to hear from you again.  Doing well and safe.  I watched a YouTube of you playing Take Five using a Bb so I thought that was your usual key on this tune.  https://youtu.be/_CrX5ZStzDI What key is your usual one nowadays?  Mine is what I pick up at random.  LOLBTW, today I’m cleaning 15 Session Steels and their response has returned.  Keep harpin.

Hello Larry,
If I ever played “Take Five” in the Key of C I would use a Bb harmonica, however I don’t think I have ever played  “Take Five” in the Key of C.But you’re right about Seydel 1847 harmonicas. That’s what I use these days.  I especially like the Lightning and Nobel models.
