This summer I'm going to camp in a cabin in Montana for a week with some other musicians. Last time I camped with them I played completely acoustic, but I had wished I had a small amp. Any recommendations? We do have electricity. 

 

I need to to be able to take it on the plane.

 

thanks..

Hi there.

I realy want to buy a mic.

I have been recording with a sm57, but i want a bullet.

But not the 520dx because it is dinamic.

What do you think of the new bulletini?

Thank you.

Best amps under 1000$ and above 15W

Hello everyone! and happy new year!

well, I just wanted know which are for you the best sounding stock tube amps (harp-friendly, it's understood) in the market, without surpassing the 1000$ limit (a matter of budget), and able to cut through the band in small/medium gigs...

(Band: Drums, bass, guitar, harp/singer) 

I've been thinking about the Fender Pro Junior, but I fear it may fall short... 

any thoughts?

Hearing Yourself OnStage - In-the-Ear Monitor

Hey everyone,

I hear Dave talking a lot about having your amp tilted up on stage or up on a chair, or even using a stage monitor, so that you can hear yourself.  These are all tried and true methods.

Out of necessity though, I use a different technique, a wireless in-the-ear monitor.  I'm the singer in my band, so I originally got the monitor to improve my singing and prevent me from blowing out my voice.  I've found it's also a GREAT way though to hear your harp playing on stage as well. continue reading...

Sorry guys, I'm completely new here, and to the harmonica overall. I only have a C harmonica, and one of the descriptions when registering mentioned that there were introductory lessons for the C harmonica, but I can't seem to find them. Help please :)

YAMAHA CHROMATIC HARMONICA NO.-1200

Hi,

 I was given an unused YAMAHA CHROMATIC HARMONICA NO.-1200 recently and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the model. A google search brings up quite little except they haven't been made for a while (decade or more) and any reviews were vaguely negative.

Being completely new to chromatic I'm wondering if it is worth using or if, despite the freebee, I should invest in a 270 or CX12 to do my learning on.

 

Thanks for your time.
