[Harp-L] Chromatic KEY choices

[Joseph Leone]

Some people (that’s ‘some’) use different keyed chromatics in order to get a different sound. Iow they want to get into a draw key instead of a blow key. Then ‘lean’ on the draw notes.
Example: A tune is in Cm and the ends of the phrases are on blow notes on a C chromatic. So they use a Bb play it in Dm and the ends of the phrases land on draw notes. Meanwhile
they are STILL in Cm..it just sounds different. More haunting.
BUT this is all pretty involved. (I carry a transposition chart). Most of the time it’s best to stick with a C. For simplicity.
