Re: [Harp-L] was SPAH ( better late .....) now special tuning

Hey Rosco
                 The bit about Brendan tuning your Harp has got my 
interest. Does this mean that he altered the notes to give a blues scale for 
the 1V chord?
i.e. a Flat third and seventh.
               I can see some advantages but wouldn't you lose some thing 
by not bending to those notes?
I'd love to know the pros and cons because it something I have been thinking 
about doing .
