[Harp-L] Major Cross (was Paddy Richter vs. Melody Maker)
I use Melody Maker on a few tunes--Blarney Pilgrim for example lays out
really well.
Mostly tho I use Major Cross, a tuning Tony Eyers created based on the MM
tuning, which raises holes 1 and 2 as well.
Let's use C as an example. The blow chord on the bottom is now D7, and the
draw chord is Em.
So the root for the scale starts on draw 2, and all notes of the major scale
(starting with the 5th on blow 1) are produced without bends.
Blow 10 is tuned down a half step, and is the third of the major scale--key
of G!
