Harmonica Information Publication (HIP) Diatonic and chromatic technique, performance practices, theory, interviews, historical sketches, industry news, instrument reviews, record, video and book reviews (with harp keys). Oriented to all styles of music, but with strong blues content due to demand. Issue 4 is devoted to Howard Levy and overblowing technique. HIP is highly regarded as having the most professional appearance and the best instructional material, but is slow in coming out. Relatively expensive, but packed with information (literally - the type is much smaller than in other publications and graphics are at a minimum). It is also the most widely distributed, with newsstand representation in both North America and Europe. Other HIP products include a computer font for harmonica tablature, tuning diagrams for plotting out action patterns, transcriptions of Toots Thielemans jazz solos, various booklets on chromatic and diatonic techniques, the Discrete Comb for extending the bending abilities of Lee Oskar and Hohner MS diatonic harmonicas, and this resource guide. 40 pages plus covers, letter size, white paper Contact: Winslow Yerxa, Editor and Publisher Harmonica Information Press 203 14TH Ave San Francisco CA 94118-1007 USA Phone: 415-751-0212 Email: WinslowYerxa@compuserve.com Web Page: http://www.angelfire.com/music2/harmonicainfo/ Subscription Cost: 6 issues per subscription series. $5.50 per issue.
