Re: Comparison Lucky 13 to Seydel Solist Pro 12 Steel - Low Octave
I own a low Solist Pro 12, and it does buzz in channel 1 when played even moderately hard. So I had a Noble Classic configured similarly: no buzz and much louder and fuller in tone through all channels.

Re: Four-chords tuning for six-hole harp

There could be a b3 to the left of the 1-5 pair, and a 3 to the right of the pair. Flanking those four tones could be 7s. A power dyad and four chords within six adjacent reeds!
Shoot, now I'll be daydreaming about this all day!
