RE: Fwd: [Harp-L] CX-12

[Nicolas Fouquet <bbhcfr@xxxxxxxx>]

Seydel/Weltmeister makes the D, E and F chromatic higher pitched than the standard C.
 
Mark, I am bringing one at the Jam Camp, you will see it then.

Quick question, are all the CX-12 Chromatics (excluding C), tuned one 
octave down from from my Special 20 diatonics? 

=======Winslow:

Yes, and not just CX-12's. For all 12-hole chromatics that I know of, 
regular C is the highest key. Tenor C, one octave lower, is the lowest, 
with all other keys somewhere in between.

Makes sense when you consider that almost all woodwinds are lower-
pitched than a C-harp. Exceptions? The piccolo, the rather rare 
sopranino sax, Eb clarinet, the D so-called "Bach" trumpet, maybe a few 
others.
