Other songs with Bb Harp?
Hi David,
I'm working thru the material in Level 4 and just bought a Bb harp for the improvising study. I am surprised at how easy I can play it as I am getting almost all the draw bends. (I assume that this is because it's a good match for the shape of my mouth cavity?). I can't find any other songs on your website for the Bb harp, but I really want to do more with it. Are there some songs I could modify for Bb (2nd position in F?) or other songs you can point me to? I won't let this distract from learning the study songs, but I sound so much more confident when I play the Bb harp!

thanks for the Bb songs and the pitch change advice! I have the Amazing Slowdowner, but hadn't used the pitch change feature yet. I just tried it and it works. This opens up a lot of possibilities for me.
Great!
Looks like they have this app for the iPhone as well (which is the only computing device I own). Would it work to change your songs from a key B flat to an A or G? I only own these two keys and some of your lessons are in other keys which makes it a bit more challenging. I can’t really buy other key harps easily because I’m in India and use the Powerbender tuning exclusively which basically means a lot of money and over a month of delivery time (if it actually gets here)..
Hello Rishió. I don't own the iPhone version, but I assume that they do offer the key change feature in the mobile version. Here's the website http://www.ronimusic.com to look into it.
Hello Teresa. Yes, your mouth just happens to feel at home with the Bb harp... that's great. Sure... "Half Steppin'" from Bending Study 5 and "The Split" from Tongue Blocking Study 4. P.S., you can use a program like the Amazing Slow Downer to change the key of your songs that use an A Harmonica down to a Bb Harmonica by moving the songs up a half step (one semitone).
