I got a second harp in the key of G and man it sounds nice. You guys and gals should get a ket of G.

yeah, G harps sound nice - they drip blues - real smooth, mellow and rich sounding.

I hear you mate but now I got to break in my new harp because I am having the same trouble as I did with he key of C harp ha ha with the 2 hole draw lol. The 2 hole sounds so deep I don't know if I am bending or playing normally he he.

Try the amazing bendometer!

It's this cool little program to help you with bends - it'll show you what you're playing and help you get more accurate with those pesky bottom end draw bends.

I guess as a bass player you've probably got a tuner lying around somewhere - if it's a chromatic one with a mic built in, that's another simple way of checking your bends. Keep practising, you're sounding pretty good!

Congrats on the new harp. IS the key of G hard to Break in? 'Cause I have a F and it's really hard to break in.

I will have to say yes., just because its a much deeper sounding harp

[Syd-Blues]

Really. My F is really high. I really don't like it.

[bluesharp]

I have an F harp and it took me a while to like it,stick with it Syd,that's what i did !!

[FatJim]

Lee Oskar do a Low F, much mellower and Seydel do a low low F, the lowest pitched 10 hole diatonic available. I have the next one up, the Low G and that sounds awesome. I'll post a sound clip later.

[bluesharp]

Look forward to hearing you Jim!!

[Syd-Blues]

I mean it's broken in. But I just don't like the tuning. Maybe I'll get that Lee Osker.
