Re: [Harp-L] What harp and position?

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

If it's in a major key, why not start by simply trying it in first position? Without knowing more about the tune, it's impossible to make a specific recommendation, though.

It's always handy to have a melody maker tuned harp, which is a combination
of paddy richter and country tuned harp, to experiment with.
