I have ordered this through Seydel's Configurator. I will report back later.

I should probably mention that this tuning was inspired by my own re-tuning of the Hohner PentaHarp. That re-tuning is shown here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=858#p3792 It is different only by the six blow note.

I should also note that the tuning shown above is in the lowest allowable key according to the Configurator's parameters for the Big Six.

I will be in Memphis the first week of October, 2022. If anyone there would like to discuss or try out this tuning, PM me.
