How would you tune this Starter or EasyPlay harp?
BASIC IDEA: THIS IS NOT A REAL THING! THIS IS NOT A REAL THING! THIS IS NOT A REAL THING! THIS IS NOT A REAL THING! It is a digital representation of a fantasy of a real thing!

Fully chromatic tuning for slideless 10-hole “diatonic” harp (or “Black Badge” tuning)
NAME: "Black badge tuning". (Can you see why?) BASIC CONCEPT: I think the title of this Topic says it all. DISCLAIMER/DISCLOSURE: I already used this octave in another topic called "Twelve-hole slide harp with 2.3 chromatic octaves, 14 different chords and easy diatonic play." Also, I am quite paran...

Comparison of four "slideless" tunings
BASIC IDEA: To gather, compare and analyze four "slideless" tunings in terms of their diatonic, chromatic and chordal capabilities. I encourage forum members to share their thoughts on the relative merits of these AND related tunings. 2017-09-21 (7).png 2017-09-21 (2).png 2017-09-21 (3).png

Twelve-hole slide harp with 3 PowerChrom octaves, 14 chords, and easy diatonic and octaves play
NAME: Not yet sure.

There were no missing sem...

I'm delighted to do this for any forum member, but understand that I use MS Word, not a ss. Just pm me the name of a ...
