The application of the XB-40 to bluegrass music is going to depend on the player. There is no reason why it wouldn't be applicable to bluegrass music. The...
Who is the harp player for The Old Crow Medicine Show. I think he only played on two tracks of the CD. I wish he had done more. He was very good and the music...
Odd. I have found difficulty in controlling it because it is too easy to manipulate -- it is too sensitive. I have an XB-40 in the key of C. Of course, I...
Not so odd. I am a medium velocity player! That's why I like to have the coverplates opened up and the slots embossed. I do like Hering 1923 harps right out of...

Dennis, I new I could count on you. I did hear the song one time and it is a true minor. I feel pretty comfortable playing the dorian scale but always some...
Dennis is correct to be ready to try 1st or 2nd position, as well as 3rd, under normal circumstances. To that list I would also add 4th position. It is a...
Hey Cara, Thanks for the input. You are exactly right in regards to the 4th position but I made a little twist to the action and feel that I should let you...
Congratulations, Charles. You got there the same way I usually do -- experimentation. C# minor on an A is 5th position (a mode called Phrygian, which is sort...
Thanks Cara, Although I've been playing for 30 years, I still get into situations where I need some help. Its nice to know that this old dog can still learn...
Well, it had to happen some day I guess. Hohner has announced a price increase that will become effective April 1, 2004 (and no it's not an April Fool joke!)...
