Probably like many others when I bought my first chromatic, couldn’t get on with it and stuck it in a draw. Some time later I tried it again having learned a bit more music theory and hey-presto it started to come together and make sense, now it’s rare for me to pick up a diatonic even for playing blues I play 3rd position chromatic. When I wrote in a post that I preferred EAST:TOP Forerunners to my CX12s Luke seemed surprised but if anyone on the forum is looking to try a chromatic the Forerunner is a useful and inexpensive (especially the original Forerunner which it probably half the price of a Forerunner2 and in my opinion just as good) an instrument. I’ve customised all of mine for studio playing but out of the box they are already pretty good. I have no connection to EAST:TOP but it may be interesting to see what others think of the Forerunner on Easttop 1248NV (forerunner) fan club where opinions come from various players. I’m not suggesting that anyone should try a chromatic but if anyone does the Forerunner may be worth considering. Jay1
