In another discussion here https://www.brendan-power.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=612&start=10#p2821 I devised a chordal prefix for Inverted Bebop tuning. It has since occurred to me that this three-hole "prefix" could be repeated indefinitely to make its own tuning. This could be in either a half-...

At 2:40 here https://youtu.be/IvUcWkLTq7E Isaac states unequivocally that he does use some form(s) of RE3.

From Seydel's website (note, in German, the B natural note is written as H, and B flat is written as B): Easy 3rd / Do it! (by Dale King) This tuning is the ideal alternative to play pieces in minor keys, because you can easily play pieces in the third position without the need of intonating the dou...

EDharmonica , a.k.a. Extended/Repeated Paddy , is a repeating bank of three holes. The same is true of FourTimes Richter . Easy 3rd seems to start out like that, but then adds one new note and reverses its breath pattern. Is this irregularity strategic, or simply an artefact of re-tuning from Stand...

As I stated in the UPDATE just above, that concept might be a very good tuning, but as a re-tuning project its 7 blow note is problematic (for me, at least). Here I recast that idea into a ten-hole format, and the problem of the re-tuning the 7 blow disappears . I have ordered a Kongsheng Mars (my f...
