Re: [Harp-L] Suzuki ProMaster Video Up



As a fairly run-of-the-mill player in terms of technique, I found I could play them MR350-V straight away and do all the bends. This contrasts with the XB-40, which has a very different mouth feel and the size and loudness take adjustment too.

Hello Brendan
Would a standard type blues player like me have to adapt to a new technique to play these valved harps,eg embouchure?
Also is there a Suzuki dealer in NZ?

A new video featuring the Suzuki valved diatonics (Promaster MR350- V and
MR350-GV) is up:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHuiExkUH4E

These are the only commercial half-valved diatonics available. For those
not familiar with them, the valving allows bending expression, vibrato
etc on the lower blow and upper draw notes (impossible on an unvalved
harp), in addition to the normal draw and blow bends. The video
demonstrates these features.
