The ruler of the harmonica world, President Joe Filisko, has declared that it is mandatory for all harpists to be able to play a Train Imitation (sorry Hvyj, you HAVE to :) )
So...
Oh and here's how Prez Joe does it... Skip ahead to 1:09 for the goods.
I'd like to hear your Trains if you have some to share. ---------- Pistolkatt - Pistolkatts youtube

Thanks jodanchudan! I really like what you and the guys are doing in the Back same day thread. I have just ordered a Thunderbird Low D so soon I'll start some real chugging. I just have to shake a nasty virus that has given me blisters all over my tongue :/ ---------- Pistolkatt - Pistolkatts youtube
Nice one Pistolkatt. My train imitation sucks and blows. It's like a real train. Speeds up, slows down and stops for no apparent reason. Another thing to work on. @Nate. Nice one. You've got to get into pit-switching. Or adjust your Armbouchure

Oh, and Pistol, just as a matter of technical synchronization on your video, and I could be wrong on this, I think trains usually sound their horns right before they enter tunnels to make double sure it's clear. You sounded your horn a little early for tunnel. You might have just got someone run over! :)
man, Filisko is a pretty accomplished act to follow...
you want excuses, i've got 'em: Low Eb harp and i haven't worked out the whistle or much else about it, cant bend anything below a half step in hole 2; basically just cant play it but anyway here is a quick one off the wrist: LINK
@ nate - yeah, tunnel and whistle are pretty random, I agree. And I should probably break my habit of going down on the first date... @- Bronze- thanks man, I believe your train is better than you let on if I know you. @superbee - I'm on my phone now so I have to listen to your train later. Thanks for posting, though. ---------- Pistolkatt - Pistolkatts youtube
