Dave, you mention "harpminger" to help with determing if you are playing the right notes. When can you get this from as I tried to google but no joy. I am possiby spelling incorrect.

gain setting on pa/mixer

Posted Mon, 08/09/2021 - 12:38 by tommy hunt

hi david

when using a pa/mixer instead of an amp

when you set the gain knob, setting aside the general differences of bullet and hi z dynamics

  how do you approach the gain setting?

                   unity,more,less?

this would usually be in live clubs

would there be any difference in the studio?

thanks

turning harmonica on low notes

Hi David

when I am playing holes 1, 2,  and 3 single notes tongue blocking I move the harmonica at a different angle to my mouth.  My gut feeling is this is probably a bad habit?

no need for your help as I have found the instructions at BLUESHARMONICA. I am learning that most if not all elementary issues are addressed. Thank you and sorry for the confusion.
