Richard,
Easy Third is a standard harp with the 2 and 3 hole draw notesÂtuned to match the octave above. So on a C harp the draws would be 1-D 2-F 3-A.
On s traight harp you can play Oh Susanna with octaves because the song has no B notes, b ut that missing B not e can drive tou crazy when playing straight. It's mostly a third position or "Summertime" harp.
The tuning wasn't invented by Bertram Beecher from Seydel but he dialed it into the Reconfig program that Seydel has setup. I'm playing a 12 hole model which has two octaves changed.Â
