Re: [Harp-L] Little Lady harps etc.

This is a little bigger than a Little Lady, but I ought to mention the Big Six. It plays like a real harp, actually quite a bit better than most, it's a short-slot C, so it plays like a D and the steel reeds extend its life. It's tuned either like holes 1-6 on a Richter or 4-9 on a Low C.
 
I once got a prewar Seydel Bandmaster (the one with the megaphones) Little Lady size harp that was a FIVE hole, those extra two notes make a lot more songs possible because you always run out of holes on the four hole.. It was a great idea, wish it had not been discontinued.

Subject: [Harp-L] Little Lady harps etc.

Are there differenty tuned tiny harps? If so.  Which one would be the best for a farely accomplished long-time player of the ten hole harps? Are they all layed out to play an octave or are there some modals that have a note layout like the first four holes of a ten hole diatonic? Enlighten me please.  Ed
