Short answer: no, never in a million years.

Maybe in a few million years if everything melts, humans evolve to breathe water, etc. Frequencies of notes would be super low. Even whales communicate under water but still use air I think.

Hello to all, just introducing me here. I'm a tubist with the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" Washington DC for about 22 years. I found my first harp in my child's B-day party gift pack about 7 years ago and started getting interested since then. I mostly enjoy the chromatic, and especiall...

I have made a couple of paddy richter diatonics (involves changing one note only). And I've turned chroms into diatonic (raising any sharp notes by a half-step) which is easy. Given...

Hi, first post here. I love playing many songs from New Irish Harmonica-I've re-tuned a few harps for that. I want a slide diatonic in high D as featured in "Drunken Landlady" and others. I know you can configure reedplates from Seydel/Hohner now, but not back then when he made those recor...
