[Harp-L] cross tuned chromatics

[JON KIP <jonkip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

anyone see any plus side to using cross tuned chromatics?

I've recorded tests of slow scales on cross and straight tuned chromatics, close miked...hand held, and there is always a sound between the notes with the cross tuned instruments.

The sound is really obvious on cx12's and on the cross tuned 64's...

perhaps, and this is what I suspect, but haven't tested,  it all washes out when it's not close miked.....

lots of music happens between the notes..... 

hmmm...

I may have answered part of my question, in that the sound probably doesn't record when you get away from the mike (mic)
