The tuning in Figure 5 (several posts above) was optimised for Dorian play. This one (Figure 6, below) is optimized for Mixolydian play.

Re: 91% of Irish music with 2 harps and only 1 breath pattern!
Regarding the excellent questions and comments of Brendan and Edvin (above) .... No doubt that holes 8-10 look funny. As I said in the original post, "In all likelihood I will tinker with it a bit – especially in the top five holes". It's a bit of a stopgap; however, there is a method to the madness...

91% of Irish music with 2 harps and only 1 breath pattern!
This Topic's title is audacious indeed! Surely, there are provisos. Yes, of course there are. Let's get started ... I begin by drawing on the “nine is fine” principle of George Kelischek . https://www.susato.com/collections/nine-is-fine If you don’t already know about George, look him up. https://yo...

Keys of Irish songs
DISCLAIMER: Most users of this forum know waaaay more about Irish music than I do. So I am not claiming any expertise here. That being said, many times on this forum I read that a particular tuning is well-suited for Irish music. I would expect that a principle concern here would be the tuning's co...

Re: Spiral-DLT tuning (a working title)
As I reconsider the "compromised" tuning shown three posts above I now see that it would be fine for mixolydian play (as asserted earlier) but would not be so suitable for dorian. The blow-draw pattern in holes 7 and 8 disrupts that octave's spiral pattern. If mixolydian and dorian play are the goal...

Re: Seydel Nonslider
I see it now in "Diverse Spare Parts" for "Chromatic" at 69.95 USD "without VAT". I don't know if this means that VAT is yet to be added, or it might mean that no VAT will be added.
I am very happy to see this product. As soon as the NonSlider appears in the Configurator, I will jump in.
