For a long time I was terrified of non-octave splitting - to my green little ears the 2-5 draw, 3-6 draw and 4-7 were heresies. Then I heard Walter's Boogie (<a href="http://www.harpsurgery.com/walter-horton-walters-boogie/" rel="nofollow">tabbed here by The Good Doctor</a>) and saw the light. Like the man says, more people need this in their bag of tricks. I agree with Tony.

While playing at a gig recently, a lady commented that she had never heard a harmonica make that sound and it sort of sounded like a horn and she liked it. Also although not an octave, I do like something that Little Walter did from time to time which is the 2 - 5 draw split and he uses it a few times on Blue Midnight which I just covered here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA0nw2jX6As Thanks for the info as more harp players need this in their bag o tricks.
