> Simplifying the melody using a Paddy Richter tuned harp.  You will see many of the notes above are draw bends in hole 3 of between a half step and a whole step (in the tab above that would be -3' and -3'').   PR tuning changes only one note, raising the pitch of +3 to -3''.

> PR tuning changes a redundant note (+3 and -2 are the same) into a very useful, but difficult to hit note.  Consider how much easier a blow note is compared to a draw note that is bent a whole step.  The main compromise (in this melody) is losing the full step and a half draw bend in hole 3 (in the tab above -3''', instead just substitute -3'').   
>  
> A side benefit of PR tuning is that it simplifies playing the "blue" half step draw bent note in hole 3 (-3'), because in PR tuning that note can't be bent any lower than -3'.  Paddy Richter tuning is explained in the link below (Brendan Power invented PR tuning).  Note PR tuning is useful for many single note playing styles (not limited to Irish Celtic).

To impress yourself play it on a Paddy Richter tuned harp (so much easier, but just for the melody, to play it out with the loss of the triple step draw bend in hole 3 would be a sin).  The tab was posted on HarpL in November 2006, if it's not in the archives I can scan a copy to the List.
