[Harp-L] 19-limit Paddy
I guess that this question is mainly for Tim Moyer of workingmansharps.com.
Recently, for certain tunes in A minor (Shady Grove), I've been using a 'C' Paddy Richter tuned Golden Melody that I've modified myself.
O.K. as far as that goes, but I'm not yet satisfied with Equal Temperament so maybe 19-limit would do the job..
So before posting I checked the archives

All pitches are relative to the reference (I use approximately A=442.5, or +10 cents):
blow: +00 -14 +04 +00 -14 +04 +00 -14 +04 +00
hole: 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010
draw: +02 +04 -10 +02 +03 +06 -10 +02 +03 +06
Sorry for all the zeros, but it keeps the letters aligned better. <
(I print this chart out in 14 point Courier New font)
I've already used this formula on regular harps & liked it.
Now my question is :
As the 2 Blow has been raised a wholetone should I now consider it as :
a) The tonic therefore +00 cents
b)A sixth and adjust the fine tuning to +06 cents?
c)Or as a second, +02 cents?
Also, should I decide to go one step further & raise the 5 Draw by a semi-tone would you advise me to treat it as a Major 7 (i.e. -10 cents)
or, as a #4/b5 as in the tri-tone between 5 & 7 draw (i.e.-13cents)
What would you advise?
Thanks in advance
