[Harp-L] Harmonica and Sheet-Music [Updated]

[Robert Coble <robertpcoble@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find the various attempts to combine harmonica and sheet music
somewhat - interesting.

There is at least one readily available diatonic alternative that
matches the sheet music conventions.

Consider the Spiral (Zirkular; Circular) Tuning - PLEASE!

Here are the notes on the "G" Spiral Tuned harmonica (based on the 
Seydel Zirkular [Circular; Spiral] naming convention):

BLOW - G3 - B3 - D4 - F4 - A4 - C5 - E5 - G5 - B5 - D6
HOLE - 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07 - 08 - 09 - 10
DRAW - A3 - C4 - E4 - G4 - B4 - D5 - F5 - A5 - C6 - E6

Given the notes, it should be obvious that the underlying key is
"C" major. The tonic note is in hole 2 draw.

Middle "C" (C4) is in hole 2 draw. All of the diatonic scale 
notes are available for two octaves (C4-C6).

No problem with using sheet music to play the notes in "C" major,
without having to shift anything, or to perform mental gymnastics.

What could be simpler?!?
