Re: Exploring a "Spiral-Chromatic" concept. Is this new?

Below we have the same as the two tunings in the post just above, except shifted to the right by one hole in order to get at least one full octave of easy blow-draw play in all church modes--in holes 1 through 7.
In holes 4 through 12 we have the repeating breath pattern for two full octaves--afforded by the rectifying Double Lead Tones.
Both tunings are fully chromatic with the use of the slider and without requiring any draw-bends.
I foresee that these tunings could be fantastic if extended on the high end in 14-hole and 16-hole harps.

ADDENDUM, May 28, 2022: In the flat-slide version (below), with the slide in, the 12 blow could instead be a Db, to complete its octave.
