Discusses the layout of the Tombo Band Deluxe Model 1521 tremolo, the harmonica both Bruno and I highly recommend for playing Quebecois music. These harmonicas last a long time. I've had mine for 7-8 years, and they're still great - never go out of tune. Unfortunately, you can't yet buy them in American or Canadian music stores. You can order them online, from Eagle Music, at www.eaglemusicshop.com. Search for "Tombo Band Deluxe." They're expensive, about $140.00, but worth every penny and a joy to play.
If that price is too steep for you, consider buying a Suzuki humming tremolo for about half the price. Or, for a little over $20.00, you can buy a Hohner Weekender (available only in the key of C, and no longer the only Oriental layout tremolo made by Hohner) or the relatively new Hohner Celeste (available in all the keys). These are available through most online harmonica sites. Some of the larger music stores also carry them. Or, you can buy a set of Thomann tremolo harmonicas in different keys for a decent price. See

Discusses the "angling" technique Bruno and I use to play triolets, rolls, and other ornamentation.
Illustrates the typical layout for the 50 tunes scored in the book. Every tune has harmonica tablature, guitar chords, and is annotated with a bit of history and playing tips for difficult passages.
Quebecois harmonica player biographies included in the book. We obtained the information through questionaires, interviews, research, and word of mouth. We discovered many little-known but very good players. Playing tips from these players are found throughout the book. We apologize for omitting some very good players, like Eric Schlorff from California, and Francois Cyr, from Quebec. We discovered them too late to include them in the book. They and others will be in the next edition.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd
post to let you know. The design and style
look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks -

Hey, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
