[Harp-L] C-Harp Chromaticism

[<alliance@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tim:

Always good to hear your perspective . . .

My thought was that if someone is going to learn how to play in all keys, it
really doesn't matter where you start; and Bb or G harps just plain sound
better.  Also, Bb is the same tuning as a tenor sax, so that makes playing
'standards' easier . . .

Not to be dismissive of these excellent points, but I would expect 
that if one were *starting out* to play all keys on one instrument, 
starting with an instrument that had a C major scale embedded in it 
would be a nice feature.  After all, everything is in a C major 
scale, some just have sharps and flats ;-)
