Gang, I was curious how everyone practices. Is it kind of loose, whenever you can kind of thing or do you have a regular time with a set of workouts that you use? For myself, I don't have a set time as my schedule bounces around but when I do practice with the chord harmonica I try focus on rythym and timing (sometimes using a metronome) and hitting the chords dead on. Also, does anyone use any kind of training materials like Richard Martin's "The Harmonica Educator"? That, btw, is a fine publication. Someone asked a few days ago about bass harmonicas. Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. Don't have much experience except to say that, if I remember your dilema correctly, you didn't want to spend alot of money on a bass till you were sure you wanted to continue with it. For me, yes, I'd go with the less expensive model till I got a better fell for it before spending the big money. I would keep in mind that it may very well not perform as well as the better, more pricey model.
