Bill Lynch said Very pleased with both the music notation and selections. I'm very pleased with this book of music. I particularly like that each piece has both traditional music notation along with tabbing for standard, chromatic and cross-harp. The tabbing also has additional vertical arrows that give duration and other important guidance. The type size and music are large enough to easily read from several feet back. The "chapters" are broken up into keys, so if you choose to play a standard or cross-harp in C, G, D, F or Bb, there is a chapter with mus. An excellent intelligently presented collection This is an awesome selection of hymns, some going back hundreds of years. Mr. Duncan uses a very smart method to assist players of all types of harps. First the written standard music notation is presented, directly below that is the straight harp tablature, then below that the chromatic harp tablature, then finally the cross harp tablature.And what is most unusual, straight and cross harp tablatures are presented in songs written in keys other than the standard C. There are songs in. Very nice layout and song notation R. J. Widerman Great for worship songbook. A companion to the harmonica player to add to the worship experience at church. One book every Christian harmonica player should have on the music stand.
