Hello Fellow Harpists! I have just discovered this list server, and am slowly working through the archives, however I thought I would throw out a question for the seasoned players. I have LOTS of questions, but I will try to pace myself.
Q: Are there any tricks, tips or exercises to help develop a good sounding throat vibrato? I was listening to a Charlie Musselwhite track the other day, and was really taken by the tone and warmth he has in his vibrato. I've been trying to devlop a decent sound, and have moved past the "machine gun" sound we all used to make as kids, but it still sounds a little (a lot?) thin. Any tips would be appreciated!
