Re: [Harp-L] Henker Tuning

Hi Heiner,

I visited your website and printed out the page with the 'henker tuning' and thought about it for awhile.  I understand the concept as expressed in your email but I haven't yet grasped how I would use the tuning.  An example (in notation or next, not mp3) would be greatly appreciated, at least by me. 

It might be that your website explains it but I only understand english.  

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me grasp this.

  Hi folks,
  lately I am experiencing with a new tuning concept basing upon the XB-40. 
  The idea is to have all important notes as natural notes as well as bending notes on the harp so that the player can decide which note in a lick should be bended and which not.
  For example in a quick lick the player might want to use only natural notes while on certain accentuated places he might want a nice smooth bending. And often other tunings don't offer the technique you want to use.
  1st example of the Henker Tuning:
