Make Your Harmonica Work Better [Paperback] Review

Poor instruments was the major impediment to my ability to play harmonica.This book taught me how to turn a bad instrument into a great instrumentand my skills as a musician have jumped ahead. This is a great book by amaster of the subject. The book has two sections. One section for simpleand easy things to do to improve the chromatic harmonica. These requireonly basic tools and experience. I've used almost all of Doug's simplemodifications and they make an enormous difference. The other half of thebook takes you deep into the jungle of customisation and is very complexbut explained carefully and thoughtfully. The second half of the book willkeep my busy for years and years. This is the most comprehensive book I'veseen on maintenance and customisation of chromatic harmonicas.
Doug is awell known and respected expert on harmonica improvements and customisationand construction. He has made and customised harmonicas for Larry Adler(who writes a forward for this book) and is frequently providing internetnewsgroups with his excellent advice. A perfect companion to this book isDoug's other book "Play the harmoinca well" which teaches you howto play the harmonica - once you've used THIS book to make the instrumentwork properly! ;-)
