First I want to say hey to all as I'm new here.
I'm a bass player that plays some harp. My band is primarily a country band
most of the songs are in G as I use my special twenty C. For other keys I have a
soft case that holds seven harps I have six C/D/F/G/A/Bb I want to fill the
empty slot, I can't decide whether to get Eb or E.
Keep in mind I cover the minor key songs (not that many)with major key harps in
the third or fourth position as I'm not found of minor key diatonic harps.
thanks in advance.
