RE: [Harp-L] New website: Spiral Tuning

["Rick Dempster" <rick.dempster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, that's a chromatic, so things get a little more complex. But I
like it, and I can hear some different possibilities. I'd be looking at
the harmonic possibilities in spiral, pretty much as you mention here,
James. That's very good, and very nice to hear. Thanks for that!

I tuned up a D Hering 12-hole chromatic to a Spiral tuning(also known
in the Seydel world as Circular tuning) in order to play harmonies in
3rds and 5ths on this slow reel in E minor.
