"Optimized" (i.e. three-keys) tuning for Trochilus-type harp

Anything apart from the two mainstream default harmonicas (Solo-tuned fully-valved chromatic, and un-valved Richter 10-hole diatonic). Alternate tunings, different construction, new functionality, interesting old designs, wishful-thinking... whatever!

"Optimized" (i.e. three-keys) tuning for Trochilus-type harp

Post by IaNerd »

In this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=155&p=874&hilit=Mullet#p874
I proposed a 12-hole tuning which had many useful features but would have been exceedingly difficult to tune and to play.

In this discussion I will recast this general idea into a more manageable tuning for a "slide-diatonic" harp such as the Trochilus.

(To be continued very soon.)

Addendum: The slide-in 10 draw should be a C#.
