[Harp-L] RE: Survey of alternate tuning preferences (for "diatonic" harmonicas).

[Isaac Ullah <iiullah@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi harmonica friends! If you didn't see my previous e-mail about this, please take a minute to fill out my survey on alternate tunings! 

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zs3sI0YuX1TBZ7divuxs5D0TZyyZxZE2x6yp3xLwcz8/viewform

I've gotten 36 survey participants so far, and the results can be viewed here: 


https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zs3sI0YuX1TBZ7divuxs5D0TZyyZxZE2x6yp3xLwcz8/viewanalytics ;

So far, it looks like "Scales", "Chords", and "Natural Notes" are the biggest reasons for choosing/creating a particular tuning system, and that "Overbends", "Novelty", and "Octaves" are the least important. Also, it looks like most folks have tried 3 or 4 alternate tunings, but a fair number of us crazy folks have tried 10 or more! :)


FYI, I'd like to get at least a hundred participants so that the results will be as statistically significant as possible*. So, please consider participating if you've got a sec! It won't take longer than 2 minutes, and any and everyone - regardless of age or stage - is welcome to participate!


Thanks everyone!

*I'm guessing that there are 
about 10,000 relatively serious harmonica players in the Western world, 
and so 100 responses would get me about a 1% sample... BTW, anyone know 
how many Harp-L members there are? How about SPAH members?

>Dear harmonica friends,

>       Please take a moment and fill out this survey I 
created about alternate tuning systems for single-reed ("diatonic") 
harmonicas... I love alternate tunings, and my purpose with this survey 
is simply to generate and share knowledge with the harp community. It's 
quick, anonymous, and the results will be available to all!
