Say Paul (Kingley) would you say that his harp is in JI? some of the notes sound really sweet at about 4.50 on the upper register. ---------- Oxharp

Victor plays Marine Band Deluxe harps, so they are tuned to compromised JI by default. If I had to guess though I'd say he has retuned them to 7 limit JI. I could be wrong though. Joe Spiers or BBQ Bob have far better ears than mine and could probably say for sure.

He's got what I think Joe Filisko called "the dirt" in his sound. He's got the little bits of adjacent notes that fill out the sound and make all the difference.
Oxharp - Russ it's because the players acoustic tone is the most important thing and that is what always comes through.
This is why people like BBQ Bob quite rightly always tell people to forget about gear and concentrate on proper technique. What most people forget is that you will always sound like you. Gear does not give you the "big sound". You do.
