… these three options … -- 12-hole chromatic edition!
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2025 7:27 pm
In this discussion viewtopic.php?p=4633#p4633 I invited your thoughts on three similar tunings. As of today the unanimous decision has been that OPTION A was the best.
Notice how that was in the context of 10-holed tunings – though I had alluded to the possibility of having those extended to 12-hole (and likely slide-enabled) harps.
In this discussion I wish to explore those 12- hole slide-harp possibilities. We may see that – in this format – OPTION A is not necessarily superior.
I make special note of the fact that all three options above now have three full diatonic octaves – or more. For this reason OPTION A-12 no longer has that clear advantage over the competitors.
Before I open this up for discussion I will hint that I am currently torn between two of the above. But right now I invite your thoughs.
