Edwin , what an excellent teacher you are! I thank you for that. Consider the image below. A saxophonist? A woman's face?

This change permits us to use the low end for lots of tasty chords that are pertinent to the harp's melodic key of D natural minor. Some common chordal progressions for the key of D natural minor are:...

In the "normal" (upper) re-tuning above, the D notes in blow holes ---, 4 and 8 could also be lowered by two semitones to become C. This would change the chord of the blow layer from Dmin to Dmin7.

First I list some Solo -tuned harmonicas: * most slide chromatic harps * the Tombo #3624 School/Solo Tremolo * the Seydel Fanfare-S Tremolo * the Hohner Tremolo Soloist * the Easttop Brendan Power Lucky 13 Solo * the Hohner Marine Band 364S Solo * the Seydel Orchestra S * the Seydel Solist Pro Steel...

Regarding "phrase map" code (by Edvin) discussed above: Is there a thread or website where we can learn more about this?
