[Harp-L] corner-switching



To nitpick:

Unless Robert has come up with a radical new variant of this (which he may have, he has certainly become a master of the technique) then I don't know why you would label tongue-switching or corner-switching as "Robert Bonfiglio's corner switching technique". Larry Adler, amongst others, was known to have used tongue switching and it has been a regular feature of the classical tradition for decades, since before Robert was born.

He does it wonderfully, but that doesn't make it any more his technique than chord vamping with occasional whoops could be called "Madcat's whooping/chord technique".
