[Harp-L] Alternate Harmonica Spiral Tuning KNIRI 221

[Kniri]

Hello Spiral Tuning Friends

Has anyone already used this tuning?

*Alternate Harmonica Spiral Tuning **KNIRI 221 *
The "diatonic-cyclic" tone arrangement *KNIRI 221* (invented 2001,
published 2009), makes it possible
to play identical melodies in several major and minor keys.
On a 10 hole harmonica, this allows to play 5 different *mixolydian*
*major* scales
and 5 different *natural minor (aeolian)* scales, which are
related/similar to the circle of 4ths (and 5ths).
The tones have a regular spacing: 221.221.221.221 etc. 2=whole tone,
1=semitone.
The nice thing about this is if you blow or draw any four notes right
next to then it will always result
in a *flat7th-chord* major, diminished or minor, depending where you are.
This makes it very easy if you want to use the instrument to accompany
someone and for improvisation.
