Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings

In "standard" Richter diatonic tuning, many of the "chords" are composed of not three notes (a Root, a Third, and a Fifth) but only two . As such, they are termed "dyads" as opposed to "triads". Playing these dyads has become a key part of that tuning's bluesy style. I have been reexamining my tunin...

Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings

This tuning differs from the one just above it by raising the 1 blow by two semitones. This narrows the Fmaj chord slightly but does not interfere with its blow/draw "chugging" alignment with the I chord in the draw layer. This change also creates (in this example’s key) a D minor chord. Doing so ma...

Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings

In the 10-hole tuning just above, the 1 draw could be raised by one semitone. This change would forfeit the vi chord, but it would provide the I chord with a septimal minor 7th note.

Re: A family of new modded-Richter tunings

The greedy chugger in me wants it all …. to be able blow/draw chug alternately (i.e. without moving the mouth position) between: --the bVII chord and the I chord (e.g. between Fmaj and Gmaj), and --the I chord and the IV chord (e.g. between Gmaj and Cmaj), and --the V and the IV (e.g. between Dmaj a...
