Other than for blues, when is it a good idea to use a chromatic harp in a different key than C?
Some players use only C, I understand.
I can hear that other players seem to use different keys of chromatic(not talking abut blues, remember.)depending on the song.
So, is it useful to have several keys of chromatic, and when and why do you use them?
Besides diatonic harps, I play a 4-octave C for some styles of music (I'm not a jazz player)and can access a few keys passably on it, but that's it. Still working on it though(probably for the rest of my life).
Any insights?
BTW - I started this discussion on the recent B-radical thread and got some excellent insights, but wanted to open the discussion up further.
Thanks to all you who responded on that thread to this question. I couldn't seem to post any more there, due to some blockage, or computer glitch or operator error, so I am attempting to carry on here.
