[Harp-L] Turning Richter into soloist--a proposed tuning (but no good for blues)



Hi-
'Scuse my inquiry-
I dislike not having all the major scale notes as "given", and so keep
retuning Richters-has anyone tried this tuning for short harp, to convert it
to a "short Soloist"?
Say in C . . .
Raise the first three blow holes to E, G, C and the first two draw holes to
F, A.
Then on top, lower blow holes 8 and 9 to C and E, and lower draw hole 10 to
G.
This gives you a good solid two octaves of do re mi (with a smidge on the
bottom and a high tonic note).
This would likely be crap for blues.
Your thoughts?
