Blues tuning for 12-hole "diatonic" harp
Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2017 5:33 pm
NAME: Not sure yet.
BASIC CONCEPT: A 12-hole slant harp with a "standard" Richter left side, and a right side where every “blues scale” note has at least one unbent draw or blow spot PLUS an enharmonic twin that is a fully-bent draw note.
WHEN/HOW: September of 2017. I have not yet had one made.
LAYOUT AND DETAILS:
Notes of the Blues Scale in G: G — A#/Bb — C — C#/Db — D — F — G
I Gmaj yes (x2), one with 7th
ii Amin no
iii Bmin yes, partial
IV Cmaj yes (x3)
V Dmaj no
vi Emin yes, partial
vii F#dim no
**FUN FACT** There are 192 pathways from the lowest blues scale note up to the highest (or vice versa), and 36,864 pathways up-and-then-down (or vice versa) all the blues scale notes.
