equal and just tuned harmonicas



Rick Epping wrote a good article on just and equal tunings on harmonicas.

If you have problems with the chords and octaves on a Lee Oskar you will 
have problems with chords and octaves on a piano or a guitar tuned to a 
tuner since they are tuned to an equal scale.The old harps were just tuned, 
so an equal tuned harp won't quite cover the old blues classics, especialy 
the 5th hole. 

If you want to play traditional gamelon music you will need a completely 
different tuning.
