You can play "major" on a natural minor diatonic harp... the major scale is

Absolutely and Jason points this out in the video but in the case of
Summertime it's much easier to use a major diatonic because the bends
are all easier which Jason also points out.
I'm not making an argument against using minor tunings, I use them quite
often. For me the point of a minor tuning scheme just like any other
tuning scheme is to allow you to play the music you're trying to play in
a way that allows you the most expression. fjm
