Hi Everybody

This is this funny song played on a Suzuki Manji in C.

Always searching to catch up the saxophone at 150 BPM...One day may be !

I love it! Can you do Flight of the Bumble Bee? It would not surprise me.

Thanks so much for another great video!

Harpdude:

Theorically that's possible, with 15 hours a day and Harmonica Stadivarius like the one that Joe Spiers is doing

I don't know for the 15 hours a day, but I'll definitely have a Joe Spiers for Christmas



As usual there's not many reaction on this video, just like the others...Can you understand the word sharing and showing what you can do with our instrument?

Nice job on a tune that's not very harmonica-friendly.
It seems as though you like to venture into uncharted territory. Good for you. I like to venture off the beaten path some myself.

Liked the harp, hated the soundtrack.. I'm pretty sure Charlie McCoy did this one. Yeah, fun song.

@rbeetsme ; If you can provide me a decent soundtrack of this song (yes it is a MIDI file) I'll be more than happy to record this one again

Flight of the Bumblebee? Well, not to be redundant, or re-redundant, or redundundant, but I would go back to my history on the trombone. The bone and the harp share a component of limitation of technical expression. That is to say, a virtuoso bone player (see Urbie Green on You Tube) or even a harp player MAY be able to play Flight of the Bumblebee in a modified manner, but it is a piece that can be played by a good high school clarinet player. There will always be the "asterisk" that it's a good performance "for a harp player" or "for a bone player." The principal difference between the bone and harp is that people LIKE the sound of the harp. If you're the best bone player in the world and you go to a party and play, people will say it "sounds okay." If you bring a guitar and you know three chords, you're the hit of the party, and you'll probably have sex...while the bone player can only exploit his wrist skills in a solitary fashion. The harp player falls somewhere in between. Some sex, but no carpal tunnel syndrome.
I had a falling out with the bone because I was trying to play sax and trumpet lines with it. I am picking it up again and concentrating on the unique sounds the bone can make. Same thing with harp....except that the general public likes harp more. Have you ever noticed how much LAME harp playing gets by in the rock genre? That's what I mean.

So I applaud Cristal's foray into a sax-oriented song. It will never be played at Carnegie Hall on harp, but we here can appreciate it. I do similar stuff, and I stumble upon things that enhance my blues playing. (I am always more verbose after a couple, maybe six, cocktails.)

I was just watching Benny Hill last night. Great timing to hear this and well done.

Thanks for sharing :)

Cristal,

Nice work! I've heard Alex Paclin do this on a valved Seydel, I believe, and it sounds awesome as well.
