Take a good look at the chordal area of the tuning posted above on Tue Dec 25, 2018 1:41 pm . Now imagine this as being one layer in a slide harp. Most slide harps are tuned so that the button-press either raises or lowers each note by either one (typically) or two (more rarely) semitones . But what...

I have noticed that the table posted on Mon Dec 24, 2018 11:52 am (above) shows that this particular key of Super-Circular excels chordally in the song keys of Cmajor and Fmajor. For melodic play that tuning can make the Cmajor diatonic scale without bends ... but what about the Fmajor diatonic scal...

What is the function of the divider within chambers of the Fanfare S?

Alan: Are these available for sale?

In my post of October 21 (above) I proposed a grafting of Super-Circular and Power Chromatic . Here I represent that once again--this time in the key of C major. The diagram below is directly compatible with the table of chord progressions that appears in the post just above this. This combination s...

In my post of October 21 (above) I said that: "grafting Super-Circular to Pentabender in a 10-hole format is a near-miss, because it fails to create a C-to-C major diatonic octave. One more channel is needed to get the upper C." I return to that particular tuning, now, with a detailed diagram plus a...

Three of the four tunings shown above contain an Amin (ii chord) in their blow layers. I will correct those diagrams as soon as I can.

The upper half of this tuning is from "Wilde Rock" tuning by Will Wilde (shown here: http://www.brendan-power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=91&start=10#p1478 ). The lower half adds a V chord with two options for dominant sevenths. http://www.brendan-power.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=410

For this tuning: Step 1: Start with the tuning just above. Step 2: Chop off channel 10. Step 3: Add a new channel preceding the others, with C blow and D draw. An additional dominant seventh note is gained for the V chord in the blow layer. http://www.brendan-power.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=v...

If one were to add another chordal harp to this lineup, a good candidate would be a Bb/C harp. Then one could play I--IV--V songs as F--Bb--C.
