Frequently Asked Questions
It's wider ranging, allowing for much more melodic freedom, but the playing feel is still fundamentally diatonic – no slide required.
The extended range requires a bit more coordination, but the diatonic layout makes it accessible; expect a learning curve, but a rewarding one.
