[Harp-L] Re: Jazmaan Plays Misty

["jazmaan@xxxxxxxxxxx" <dmf273@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for listening Ron!

To answer your questions:  I'm playing "Misty" on a tuning invented in 2007 by Andy Newton which
he has dubbed the "Fourkey" tuning.   If you do a Google search on "Newton Fourkey" you'll find
everything you need to know in great detail.

The particular harp I'm using is the lowest Fourkey available from Seydel - key of G, which is why
that low note wasn't available on your A harp.

As I said in my original post, that was "just a tease" to generate some interest and discussion,
which is why I didn't post any details.   I'm glad you took the bait!

Here's the link again for anyone else who wants to hear this new 10-hole fully chromatic without
overbends tuning:

More to come!

Comments appreciated!

Jazman, interesting.  I've always played it 2nd position on a standard tuned diatonic.  
  There's enough differences in your version to let me know u are not using a standard tuned harp.
  I
hear no overblows.  Another example is your low note at the one minute mark - that note isn't on
 my A
harp.
What key harp and tuning are u using and in what position are u playing? 
 Suggestion: it would be helpful to include this kind of info in your descriptions.
