[Harp-L] Grace Notes and the Double Bass Harmonicas



Can grace notes be successfully accomplished on Double Bass Harmonicas
(such as the Suzuki SDB-39 or the Hohner 268/78)?

I don't own one yet (the SDB-39 is on my "Saving For" list, along with an
SCH-48) so I have to ask someone who does own and play one.  It's my
understanding that because the reeds are so long on a Double Bass harp,
there is or may be an ever so slight "delay" between the time the breath
hits the reeds and the reed(s) actually sounds. I don't know if this
"delay" would hinder the playing of grace notes on the instrument or not.
So, I'm asking! Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
