Re: [Harp-L] Double stop



Double stop is one way to describe playing 2 notes on the harmonica at once, as in TB octave and 2 holes next to each other.
 
By using the tongue in between notes, you can widen or narrow the tongue giving you many different intervals, even more or less than occur in a simple octave.
 
It is a fun technique and adds quite a bit of variety to note choices and improv concepts.
 
Richard Hunter, Howard Levy, RJ Harman, Carlos Del Junco come to mind immediately as using this technique in their arsenals.

Subject: [Harp-L] Double stop


In some articles I read recently, the "double stop" is mentioned. Perhaps I
already use this technique, and it could be just a language thing (since I'm
from Amsterdam). But what is it?

When I first read this word, it sounded like a rhythmical aspect of playing,
but in the articles it seems more like a melodical aspect of playing.

Thank you for any explainations.
