Todd played at our church tonight and absolutely blew the house down. I'm a former music major and violinist, have played all 9 Beethoven symphonies at least once each; I'm also a retired country and country/rock fiddle and guitar player, used to work out of Vegas and Reno back in the late 70s/early 80s. Todd is easily one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard, just spectacular. We're hoping he comes back to our church to bless us again.

Thanks! 1st harp is a Db with the 7 draw tuned down a half step. 2nd harp is an F#, standard tuning. Both harps will have the altered 7 draw tuning on the album version. Hope this helps!
