Serendipity in Action: Inverted-Solo Tuning
I inadvertently created an interesting new tuning nearly 30 years ago, without realising it until quite recently. In the late 1980s I started retuning chromatics to make what I call Slide-Diatonics.

Re: Unibender
Thanks for your sympathetic comments, Lizzy and Triona. The good thing is I have a bit of a deadline coming up for this and a couple of other designs that I need to finish patent papers for in early April, so that will help concentrate the mind
