Hi folks,
The thread on the alternate tuning for an really interests me as I LOVE
del
Junco's "B- Thing". I want to get a couple of E harps and do this tuning
(or maybe just configurate in on a Seydel order and save myself the
trouble). The actual information I need it patchy on the thread. I was
able to glean from it the following: That the tuning is on Overblow.com's
site and listed as Lee Oscar Tuning 11.21.
When I checked this tuning I find that there are actually 4 variations -
11.21, 11.21a, 11.21b, and 11.21c. Now I'm not so sure which is the one I
want. My lack of experience here makes me a little timid.
Another post to this thread (Ben Bowman's) states that the tuning changes
from Standard Richter by 1 blow down 2 semi-tones, 1 draw up 3 semi-tones,
and 7 draw down a semi-tone. What I can deduce from this is that it's the
11.21a that most closely resembles this description. Am I right?
Another question: Do those wiser than I (of which there are many) think
It's possible that I could configure a Seydel Soloist Pro to this tuning
and
end up with a harp that I could tweak (i.e. emboss, gap, etc.) to the
point
that I could get those over-blows shown on the tuning chart? E is a high
harp so I'm thinking over-blows are going to work easier on it that on,
say,
and A.
