[Harp-L] Playing in majors/minors

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Todd,

FWIW, I don't use minor harps.  i play standard Richter tuned harps  
and my previous post explains how i select which one to use for  
playing in minor keys.

Btw, playing minor in FIFTH position is pretty easy to do.  Use draw  
2 for root, avoid draw 5 and draw 9 and don't bend anything but draw  
3.  i mean, there's actually more to it than that, but, as a  
practical matter,  this oversimplified formula will work effectively.  
Playing in FIFTH has the same sort of "feel" as playing in SECOND.
