First, the straightforward re-tuning, i.e. without added chords:

Now a version with one new IV chord at the low end ....
[Note: This is
Inverted Bebop from the 1 draw onwards.]

In case you have a fever, and the only prescription is more IV chord ....
[Note the mis-labeling: This monstrosity is no longer
Inverted Bebop.]

Same as the re-tuning just above, except now the V chord is a complete triad.
I
don't like how the first full octave starts with a blow tonic.
I
do like how the IV chord and V chord overlap -- perfect for chugging.
Note: The first 13 notes (i.e. the first six holes plus the 5 draw) are identical to
PowerChromatic.

Roads that lead to Rome: ALL
Tunings that lead to (or from)
PowerChromatic: MANY
After conceiving the re-tuning
from Solo just above, I noticed that its first 13 notes were identical to
PowerChromatic. So I had to wonder: "Why not just
start out with PowerChromatic?
To wit:

The tuning just above can also play the E dorian scale with a "normal" breath pattern, i.e. with a blow tonic.
That re-tuning would be particularly useful starting with a
PowerChromatic in C and ending up with a C ionian harp with an "inverted" breath pattern and also D dorian with a "normal" breath pattern. Such is shown below.
I don't like the absence of an Am chord (vi for ionian, or v for dorian) in this re-tuning. I welcome ideas to fix this. I suppose the Am is implied as dyads in 4-5, 8-9 and 12-13.
