[Harp-L] TRY A LUCY TUNING on your harp

["David Priestley ( for harp-L)" <dmharpman@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi there
For those of you who like to try out a bit of home tuning here is a 
website that is something else. Charles Lucy developed this view of 
tuning that's well worth a look and then applying it to a harmonica. It 
may work better on a chromatic than a blues style tuning. Unless you are 
very precise with your bending.
He made a set of recordings of lullabies that really do have an impact 
on baby that normal / traditionally tuned music doesn't. so if you have 
a baby   or your children or grandchildren are babes then play them 
these songs and they stop being fretful, given that they are fed and 
changed.
The research done on the effect of these tunings is extraordinary, read 
up on it in the website. we all know what a powerful thing music can be
and all music is dependent on the underlying tuning system.

Give it a go and have fun exploring-All the best-David
