Re: Digest Number 69

Hello again,
James - I forgot to mention Vern Smith's great invention - website:
http://www.Hands-Free-Chromatic.7p.com _he makes and sells a
hands-free chromatic that I've heard is really amazing. It's a
mouthpiece that moves up and down (btw. the c and c# scales). Check it
out. http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/SUBR21.html
Also, just had a look at the ultra-cool looking (black and red) Suzuki
BR21 Baritone Orchestral Tremolo - have a look at:
The Echo Celeste looks pretty good too, it's available in all 12 keys,
and only $14.95!  http://coast2coastmusic.com/cgi-bin/cart/HH455.html
OK, the info on the "fixed-hinge" idea did come from Danny Wilson, but
its over at the Coast To Coast website:
http://www.coast2coastmusic.com/orchestral/bass.shtml
* Scroll down towards the bottom where he talks about his modified
Hohner #265/58, but check out the entire article is really
informative.
This is an ok picture of the hinge on a Suzuki Bassharp:
http://www.coast2coastmusic.com/orchestral/suzukibass.shtml
- I think they're the same as the Hohners, and I heard you can order
the hinges separately from Hohner.
*And also, Steve, thanks for the info, and I've heard your music and
liked it very much.

Bye for now,
James A.
