Re: [Harp-L] diminished chromatic for blues

[Eugene Ryan <ryan.eugene@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for the kind words! The other two guys are players who play
diminished tuning; I don't have sound samples or links other than the
angelfire one below. There are more, now that I think of it, chrotrane and
Grant Osborne. There were other players who started off with diminished
tuning but I don't know if they kept it up - I've lost track of the various
players who started out on dimi. G had the original articles on angelfire
about the diminished tuning that created some interest in the tuning:
http://www.angelfire.com/music/harmonica/dimichromintro.html

I think Jason and I got into it fairly seriously about the same time after
reading the article... there was Dr Yeadon who played before that and of
course possibly other players.
