Subject: RE: More Strings Than Most: how many harps?
On the subject of harp tuning:
Since sharping levers can only sharp and not flat, I find it useful ( and have gotten this from others as well) to tune a harp with a full set of sharping levers to the key of either F or Bb, so that the key of C has one or two sharping levers up. This enables one to use the common one or two flat keys as well as several sharp keys.
I think harpgirl plays a harmonica (mouth harp) rather than a stringed harp
Ferrara: remind me in October that you want me to bring the MacA harp to the Getaway
