[Harp-L] Power Chromatic tuning compared to Major Cross

[Gary Lehmann <gnarlyheman@xxxxxxxxx>]

*Power Chromatic*****

Hole    1    2     3    4    5    6     7    8   9   10
Blow    C   E    G   A   C    E    G   A   C   E
Draw   D   F#   A   B   D    F#   A   B   D   F#****


All examples are in the key of G.

Think of this as holes 3 thru 6 of a Melody Maker tuning, but situated on
holes 4 thru 7, and the same across the harp.
No shift in breath direction.
Chords are C6 and D6--that's the IV and V chord--no tonic chord in the key
of G.****
