2022 Chromatic Harmonica Quiz 2022

blues scale over two octaves, starting from hole 1. Interesting possibilities emerge for 1st and 3rd position as well. Alternate tunings like this mean little unless you invest the time to make worthwhile music with them. I’ve taken the first step, and now have a full set of Shift tuned Seydel 1847 Classic harmonicas, shown in the picture. I’ve replaced the regular Richters in my bag with their Shift tuned counterparts. There is a learning curve for sure: I have to orient myself one hole to the right before launching my standard 2nd position moves. But I’m loving the low riffs that I can finally do, using the new hole 1 notes. A year from now I should have them under control, just in time for SPAH 2023 in St Louis.
