Chromatic/Diatonic Crossover  Friday 1:00-2:00

While chromatic and diatonic harmonicas are different instruments, they 
have more in common that you might think. Yet chromatic players are 
often mystified by diatonic, and diatonic players are often mystified 
by chromatic. Even those who play both often wish they had a better way 
to bring them together.   

This seminar features a panel of prominent musicians who play both 
diatonic and chromatic with distinction. Come listen to their 
discussion and ask questions.   

Come listen and ask questions with our panel of experts who play both. 

Panelists will include.
