Subject: harmonica honker mic

Has anyone out there used the Harmonica Honker mic? I read about it at
www.planetharmonica.com (no affiliation). It is a tiny mic that fits in
your hand. The belt clip has a distortion control on it. Also, has anyone
used the microvox mic from England?
I think Clint Hoover uses one.

Thanks

David

The Hardwood Harmonicas that I have seen did not any sealant at all. They
use tropical hardwoods that don't really need to be sealed. With the
extended mouthpiece, your lips don't come into contact so much with the
woodwork.

Not seen any Swan harps in the flesh, but the Tombo Contrabass uses a hard
black laquer (can't tell exactly what type just by looking) over the front
edge of a maple comb. The rest of the comb appears to be au naturel.

Ebony is a lovely comb material, but is, as you say, a little expensive.
However, there are other woods that would work just as well. I've made some
combs from African Blackwood, a common wood for making wind instruments. It
is very similar to ebony, but is a whole lot cheaper. Mahogony is not so
good, as it can be an irritant to the skin and so a sealant is essential.
Rosewood is probably another good alternative.

I'm tempted to say that plastic is an even better alternative, but then as
well as those that foolishly maintain that comb materials make a
significant difference to tone (there you go JRR - I'm doing my best to
stir things up for you!), there also many who simple prefer the texture of
wood as a playing surface.

Whatever the comb material, MS harps are not going to sound ~exactly~ like
the classic Marine Band, as the reeds are quite different. It is possible
to mount trad MB plates and covers on the doussie comb of an MS Blues
Harp or MS Marine Band, but it takes a bit of work. I often find that
doussie is quite brittle compared to the traditional pear wood and more
prone to cracking as you work on it. Also, because of the grain of the
doussie, MS wood combs are quite prone to leakage between the comb
partitions. Some careful levelling of the surface is in order.

However, in the case of most diatonics, it does. Hence the issue of skin
sensitisation being important and the choice of sealant being more critical
than it would be on the chromatic.

Which can cause sensitisation problems in some people, if it is applied
along the front of the comb (as discussed at length on harp-l previously).
I vote with Douglas and Blackie in favour of a urethane-type finish.

Hi Mike,
Gary's video on Mountaintop is a really good one; Gary was my teacher
back in 1973 and he's really dedicated his career to recreating the
classic Chicago blues sound; when I met up with him again at Barrett's
Masterclass two years ago he was sounding better than ever. The
section of the video on mics and amps is especially good. Incidentally,
the other Mountaintop video by Mark Hummel is also worth seeing.

I also have that video and found that it was pretty cool. I got it after
I'd learned a lot of what he teaches on there, but it still is a good
presentation of the material. He's pretty thorough. Ditto on that "mic and
amp" section. Neat toys!

Hello All,
I'm back from a very long & tiring trip which unfortunately had very little
to do with playing harmonica, however I had a good time.

Anyway - I've just got off the phone from Bill Price.
He is in good health and his sense of humour is in good form.

He has a friend rebuilding and setting up his computer and he expects to be
online within the next 2 weeks. He also says thankyou to everyone for
asking after him and wanted to reassure people that he will be back to annoy
people very soon.

He has asked if the administrators of Harp-L & HarpTalk could please
unsubscribe him as his mailbox quota is full and he'll resubscribe when he
has cleared it all out.
For the purposes of unsubscribing him, his email address is
wpri~nsinc.com

Now I'm going to catch up with all this email.

Cheers

Titanium Comb builder Mark LaVoie was born on this day in 1950. He's been
playing since the very early 1970's, his main influence being Sonny Terry.
Mark even got to be Sonny's Driver for a while in 1976. Very cool. Happy
Birthday, Mark.

Singer-songwriter Steve Earle Like to play harmonica on a neckbrace. Steve
is a top-notch country musician and is currently teaching a master's course
in songwriting at the Old Town School of Folk Music here in Chicago (same
place where Joe Filisko teaches Blues Harmonica). Steve turns 45 today.

That's all I/ve got for today. Keep sending me those birthdays.

Subject: distortion units

I really want to find a way to get good grizzily distortion without having
feedback problems. I'm forever playing with my amp/PA settings and all I
really want is a lot of distortion. For me, using pedals (for *Tube*
sound/distorters) ends up feeding back when I change venues/circumstances.
With someplaces being so bad that I end up having to just use the vocal mic
or piss everyone off all night as i work it out.

I've heard about a *Hughs and Kettner tube distortion unit* (Howard Levy
says he uses one and I've never seen one). Is this like a pre-amp... or just
another crunch-box-type thing? Can anyone tell me more about this unit? I
can't find diddly on the net. For that matter a Hughs and Kettner web page
address would be helpful. Lemme re-phrase my question:

Does anyone have insight into a multipurpose (can use with many amps, or
maybe even direct to PA) method of adding pretty heavy distortion, without
increased feedback threat (I play lots of, differently shaped, small clubs-
with different volume requirements).

I should add that I've been used to smaller amps- which sound GREAT in the
rehersal room...until getting miced, or plugged in, to the PA under
different
circumstances/acoustics. Maybe it's time for a Bassman or a larger amp,but
I'm not ready for that...so I'm looking for something to go somewhere
between
the Green Bullet (partly the culprit, I know) and the small amp---PA???
Maybe a tube pre-amp to boost the little amp (or does that defeat the
purpose?)....

Forgive the ramble. I know some of you know where I'm at. Thanks, in
advance.

Sorry to post to whole list. I'm in the Houston area and I'd be
willing to give some instruction. To get an idea where I'm coming
from, see my web pages at http://www.angelfire.com/tx/myquill

I can't get "reply" or e-mail addresses from my Harp-L interface at
e-groups. (Anyone know the trick?) So please e-mail me at
myquill / writeme.com

Also, maybe not to entirely waste bandwith, I thought at one time Danny
Wilson kept a listing of harp instructors for all over the place.
Couldn't find the link.. anyone have it? Danny, you still keeping that
up, now that you're a movie star? Megga-congratulations, by the way!

One other thing.. I've been thinking for a while (always dangerous)
that with webcams, digital audio, easy chat tools, yada yada it would
be doable to set up web-based harp instruction. Harpin' is mostly
about hearing, since it's tough to "show" much of what's going on, and
even if you could somehow, the student can't very well see what's going
on inside their own mouths as they play..

What y'all think? Would web-based harp instruction be something worth
setting up?

To all,

I received the letter below from Col David Higgins, son of Bob Higgins,
to inform us of his current situation. Those of you who know and
remember Bob, are aware of his history as a member of The Three Reeds,
The Reeds (with Bernie Bray - and both groups with Mo Vint), and also
the World's Greatest Harmonica Band (with Ken Smith). I know Bob would
love to hear from you, so please let him know you are thinking of him in
his time of need.

Gentlemen:

I am writing to you to advise you and all SPAH members that my father,
Bob Higgins, formerly of the Three Reeds and the World's Greatest
Harmonica Band, is currently in the hospital undergoing treatment for
lung and brain cancer.

His prognosis is extremely serious, but he is presently undergoing a
rigorous series of radiation and chemotherapy treatments in order to
fight back.

If you know my dad, you will appreciate that he has devoted his life in
pursuit of excellence with his instrument; indeed, his professional
credentials will attest to this (several albums, toured with Bob Hope in
Europe, played with several frontliners including Al Martino, Rosemary
Clooney, Sammy Davis, etc). Dad has treasured his relationship with
SPAH and, despite living quite far away in the Maritimes, has managed to
attend a number of your conventions.

I would be greatly indebted to you if you could pass the word around
through your organization that Dad is indeed quite ill: SPAH membership
is quite widespread and I am sure that if members knew they would like
to pass along their best wishes and encouragement: it would mean a
great deal to him.

Bob can currently be reached at the Moncton Hospital (Moncton New
Brunswick) at 506-857-5000, currently in room 4216. He has been in the
hospital since the beginning of December and will likely remain there
for some time yet. He also checks his messages on his home telephone,
which is 506-877-0018.

Anyone wishing to write to my father are encouraged to do so at the
following address:

Mr. Robert Higgins
960 St George Blvd
Apt 235
Moncton, New Brunswick
CANADA E1E 3Y3

Anything you can do to convey this information to your membership would
be greatly appreciated.

I wish you continued success in your endeavours.

Sincerely,

Col Dave Higgins, Canadian Forces (and harmonica player)
