Re: [Harp-L] Why 12th?

[Larry Marks <larry.marks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, like 2nd position, 12th position is one accidental away from the 
tonic key of the harp (it's 2nd position on the circle of fourths.) That 
means, like 2nd position, not so many bends are needed to play a major 
key melody. The utility of the position as a major key position is as 
Martin has well described it.
