Re: [Harp-L] Jason Mraz: Butterfly. What key/position?

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

The track is in F natural minor, so 4th position on an Ab harp would be the closest fit. You could also play 5th position on a Db harp, which would give you your home note and a partial home chord without having to bend in the low register, but you'd just have to watch out for the avoid notes in Draw 5 and 9.
