From Sylvia Woods Harp Center :
Clever Levers, by Ray Pool, is a compilation of thirteen harmonic elements fully explained in the key of C major. Each element is then used in the second section of the book in each of 6 keys. A unique way to teach 13ths, chromatic scales, whole tone scales and borrowed dominants on the lever harp. This book will be helpful for any lever harpist learning to play from lead sheets or fake books.
