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.

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's
a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Great work! -

I'm not sure why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this problem or is
it a problem on my end? I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists. -

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. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, very good blog! -

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I
could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having
problems finding one? Thanks a lot! -

Awesome blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused ..
Any ideas? Thanks! -

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any methods to stop hackers? -

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to
your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
