[Harp-L] Super Streamliner tuning

[Winslow Yerxa]

Looks like Jimmy Gordon's circa 1998 variant on my Combination Tuning (which was added to the Altered States compendium about 30 years ago). 

In this key, you'd take a Low E and 
- tune Blow 2, 3, 5, and 6 up to create an A major chord but leave the E major chord on the top end alone.
- Tune the draw notes to an E major chord but leave HOles 8, 9, and 10 alone.
I used this tuning on my recording of the Canadian fiddle tune Maple Sugar, which you can hear here. I've used it on other things as well.

I also used it on Reel de Mademoiselle Adeline, the first tune in this two-tune set.

In both instances, I played them in the key of the blow chord of the first six holes, equivalent to first position except in the top three holes.

 Looks challenging.  Got a recording of an improvisation?
