You are an obvious virtuoso on the 280.

Someday, with perfect practice, maybe... no, probably not....

So, how do you keep from pulling out mustache hairs when you play?

Thanks for letting us listen

Actually, it has happened once or twice.

Hurts like hell!

Reel to reel or digital. I use a Mac using digital performer software.

Very nice and so tasty. Has a very classic sound.

A bit like the harmonica on the Andre Kostenlanits

records and Eddy Manson. Like the reverb..

What brand is it? What mic are you using and

how did you record the harmonica.

[clansworth]

Thanks, Diggsblues!

I recorded it on my Tascam multi-track. The reverb is a feature of the Tascam. The mic is an Audix 0M-5.

Best wishes,

Jim Watkins

Thanks for this beautiful performance, It is extremely hard is to get a clean and crystaline sound. Compliments from your harmonicist colleague Clovis Castello
