So the straight dorian scale(no bends) is the same blow/draw pattern as 6th
position on a "standard" Richter model where we get the fairly uncommon
locrian scale. I'm not familiar with this harp but am I to understand that
an MM is also labeled as a "dorian" harp? Does LO also point out that a 6th
position major scale is available on the natural minor harps? This is good
info to understand but it just seems odd to market harps based on 6th
position.
