[Harp-L] re: History of Harmonica Tunings

["Daron Stinton" <dstinton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just FYI, folks:

 

Suzuki has been offering our popular Manji harmonica here in the US in both
country tuning and in harmonic minor, since January of 2014. Natural minor
tunings are expected to be available around the time of SPAH later this
summer.

 

And even though we have had these tunings available for several months, no
one seems to be interested in actually buying them. Sales of both alternate
tunings have been ridiculously low.

 

I know a lot of harmonica players say they want alternate tunings to be
available, but they sure aren't speaking with their wallets.at least, not
yet.

So we make 'em.....but no one seems to have noticed or cared.
