[Harp-L] Re: Gnarly Chordomonica II

[gnarlyheman@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi Vern--
The instrument is in G, as it turns out--blow 1 2 3 4 is E G B D, so that's either Em7, or G6--and then that chord is repeated, going up in half steps, in the same holes. 
So draw with button is Bb. 
Then the second slider comes into play--it selects the top plate for the first two holes, and the bottom plate for the next two holes, and each octave is the same.
So the blow chord is C and the draw chord is D--
But as I mentioned over the phone, the second slide exposes both major and minor thirds for the two chords, so you actually have:
C, Cm, D, Dm, Em, Fm, F#m, G(6), Gm, G#(6), A(6), Bb(6)
If you are adept enough to select the correct adjacent tones. 
Note that the (6) can be left out of the triad if you are suave enough.
I am not--it will take some time with this new instrument to get good enough to "youtube" it--
So stay tuned!
