Hi Christelle. I don't know if you accept video responses or not but I thought I'd send you my feeble attempt at the same song. I don't have a backing track or anything, it's just acoustic but I would love to get feedback from a professional such as yourself. Thank you so much.
Thanks for accepting my video response and I appreciate your critique of my play. I knew a couple of those notes didn't sound right, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong so I just went with it. I'll get it one of these days.
Mam, you're playing fabulous ! How do you find Manji over Seydel for overblow? Is this a customized one ? I remember from one of your conversation that you prefer customized beta harp.
To be completely honest I still consider the Seydel as very very good instrument, but when I discover lately the Manji and the Suzuki line of instrument, I knew that was the right choice....This Manji is played out of the box. Having said that I've tried yesterday to work on another one, and they're so much more easier to work (the staineless steel reeds are very difficult to reshape)
And of course the Manji is extremely inexpensive...
Great performance, Christelle. I had an eye on the manji, but the reed plates are nickel plated. And as an allergic person this is STRICTLY a NO GO for me. Even as some other models like the hammond. But it's not only suzuki. Seydel uses this nickel and chrome (which also includes nickel) in many models. So I'll stick with my custom marine bands with brass redd plates and stainless steel covers. :.(
What's your first impressions of this Harp? How does it bend and overblow? Did it play like you wanted it to right out of the box? I ordered one but they seem to be on back order. It sounds like you are playing a chromatic, has that real nice Suzuki mellow tone.
fabulous : )

C'est tres beau. Turn me on Christelle. You're such a natural romantic musically. Romance is so lacking in our society. En veritee...
Prends soin de toi, SVP.

Can't tell. Is it better because of the jazzy sound she is doing, or sounding better because of the Suzuki?
Maybe a couple little changes once in awhile just shows more talent.

One wonderful example of what "YOU" can do with the wonderful M 20 MANJI by Suzuki !!!!!
Thank you and,

The harp is gorgeous out of the box, the complete line of diatonic sound gorgeous too but if I've choosen the Manji it's beacause of its price
