Tuning - Major Diatonic, Part 7
Mon, 01/31/2011 - 08:45
Now that you've looked over the scale our instrument was intended to play, you noticed that each octave is played differently. This is one of the challenges of playing the major diatonic harmonica tuning and one of the reasons many players find it difficult to play on the high end. Some of the tunings we'll be discussing try to resolve such issues.
1+ 1 2+ 2" 2 3" 3 4+ = First Octave (C D E F G A B C)
4+ 4 5+ 5 6+ 6 7 7+ = Second Octave
7+ 8 8+ 9 9+ 10 10'+ 10+ = Third Octave
