[Harp-L] tres cool site - Mox and the European guys

[Captron100@xxxxxxx]

Recently a harp-L poster, Mox Gowland, evidently from Europe, posted  about 
playing in 12th position.  I went to the site he mentioned and the  
instructions are very interesting.  In addition to himself and a classic  song by Little 
Walter, there are 5 other harpists, whose European names i can't  pronounce or 
spell <g>, who give short lessons.  It's really cool -  they actually show 
the front of a harp and cleverly show the notes being played  - blow, draw, 
variations of bends, vibrato, etc.  Most they show the  excerpt in 4 sections, so 
you know where the song exerpt is at.  There are  buttons to enable you to 
stop, start, etc.  This internet never ceases to  amaze me.
It should be a very good tool for learning, IMO especially  for intermediate 
to beginner harpers - that is, all except Mox's  submission.  Mox's is the 
most advanced instruction of the 7  presented.  He plays his excerpt in 12 
position (key of F on a C  harp).   An unfortunate omission of the website is the 
position, key  of song and key of harp used.    
But not only does he  play in 12th position but Mox tongue blocks octaves, 
bending on the left side  while playing on the right side of his tongue.  All 
this is visually shown  with 2 harps while you get to listen simultaneously.  
Great technique and  amazing technology, imho.  Everything on the site is done 
at a slow  tempo.
Here's the website: http://www.harmopoint.com/    First u have to click on a 
flag so it reads in your language.  Then u have  to left click your mouse and 
drag the edges of pages, to reveal the contents --  kind of a pain in the ass, 
imo.  
  Thanks, Mox.
