[Harp-L] Re: If the song is in B minor can I play an E harp in 2nd position?

Gee thanks Winslow.
I was going to go out and get a E minor Lee Oskar harp so that I could
jam along to songs in B minor in second position.

You're saying that I could play a B natural minor LO harp in second
position and and it would be intune for a B monir song ... awesome,
thanks for that.
