"Wide v-Chord" re-tuning of Richter
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2022 7:23 pm
In my first few posts here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=212#p1119 I considered some tunings that included lowering standard Richter's 7 draw note by two semitones -- making it equal to the 6 draw's pitch. Well over a year ago I got this far on what was going to be a more extensive re-tuning project but then had to clear off my desk for other things. Last week I pulled out this harp and tried to recollect what I was doing and thinking. What I found was that this change of one reed extends second position's typical v chord (of 4-6 draw) from 4 draw all the way to 10 draw. This could be very handy as a "neck-rack" tuning. It also opens up a new dyad -- the D5 power chord -- in the 7 and 8 draw notes. These could be played as a dyad or warbled.
