Re: [Harp-L] Re: Take Five

I'm interested in the Paddy Richter tuning. But concerning this song: Would it be possible to play the 
-3'''-Bends in the Tab?

Thanks

I threw the tab into a word processor and replaced all the -3'' (3 
hole draw whole step bends) with +3 (3 whole blow) where you'd find 
that note on a Paddy Richter, and it got a LOT easier.  Less than half 
the number of bends (26 instead of 55) and all but three of them are 
semitones.
