Re: Fwd: Tip on unortodox playing for looping (was: PsychedelicJew's Harp)

I also bought some.
There are fine cheap ones from Vietnam, which you can make sound as

and there is creative guy in Hungria or what, with a brilliant site:

I asked him why he does not make them tunable and it seamed he had 
never thought about it. Should not be too dificult to either move a 
weight on the tonge or move the tonge to change its size... and it 
would be a boost... :-)
