Dorian Cross var. 2.5a re-tuning of a Paddy Richter Baby Fat
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2023 3:27 pm
The other day I thought that maybe I had penciled out a new tuning. When I checked Pat Missin's catalog, I found that it was already known as Variation 2.5a of Dorian Cross.
What I wish to point out here is that this tuning, which features an F major scale, would be a really nifty re-tuning of a stock Paddy Richter Kongsheng Baby Fat. The result is a major scale with three notes below and four notes above. Pretty cool!2.5 - DORIAN CROSS

Of course, this is still a Dorain machine sporting four notes below the scale and three above. And in the relative Dmin, this harp has one note below the natural minor scale and six above.2.5a - VARIATION OF 2.5 -- truncated
