[Harp-L] questions about ode tuning

["clydeclc@xxxxxxxx" <clydeclc@xxxxxxxx>]

i have often wondered why more players don't use the paddy tuning in second position as opposed to the melody maker tuning.  for my simple music i find it more flexible.

thanks

The melody is completely diatonic, so a chromatic isn't necessary.  My instrument of 
choice for diatonic would probably be a Paddy Richter in 2nd position.
