Re: Hohner PentaHarp : Eight Easy Pentatonic Scales

Hi Brendan I found a mistake in the Ab minor pentatonic listing the b3rd is wrong you have C and it should be B which can only be gotten by overblowing and the 5 blow is the VI F should be 5 draw for the b7. I know you know this stuff inside out and you seemed to have partially switched to the major...

Re: Diminished Tuning Another Key

Brendan I've been retuning reeds for years. I'm just feeling a little lazy about retuning 26 reeds and That's what I will probably end up doing. I think it would be good to have the 4 bent notes as the tonic in a blow or draw situation.

Diminished Tuning Another Key

Bendan are you planning in the near future to make another key Lucky 13 Diminshed tuning. Besides having one in your labeled key of C it would be useful to have one with the four bent notes either as draw or blow. I don't think any other key would be necessary once you have these 2 harps. I'msure yo...

Re: Balkan tunes and tuning

Malarz The most expedient solution for what you want is get a Lee Oscar Harmonic Minor in G. These are labeled in 1st position and play it in 2nd position (2 hole draw) which will give you the Hijaz scale in D. Hijaz or Phrygian Dominant is the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale. What I recommend ...
