[Harp-L] Re: Paddy Richter vs. Melody Maker
Hello, Richard.
I'm not a Melody Maker or Paddy Richter player, but, looking at your
descriptions of the tunings, the only difference I could see on paper would be
the Melody Maker raises the hole 5 draw pitch to allow the performer a choice
of 2 major scales (C major and G major on a C harp), and the Paddy Richter
doesn't.
Another point to consider is, on the Melody Maker, the 5 draw sharped may
be bent down to a regular 5 draw, so you wouldn't lose the regular 5 draw
note.
