Tällaista tietoa löysin Irish-harpuista. Kun vain ymmärtäisi suomeksi. Like Diatonic, Chromatics are available in numerous tunings. However, there are three more popular versions: one is the Irish tuning, which is done by flattening (instead of sharpening) the notes when the slide is in. This makes playing Irish music, and to a certain extent, blues, easier, since Irish music is commonly played in either the key of D or key of G. The use of C, with no sharps or flats, and B, with all flats, allows common Irish modes to be played while the downward tuning slide allows ornamentation in keeping with the Irish tradition. The Irish Tuning can be done easily by reversing the slide (flipping the slide upside down) of a chromatic in the key of B major; alternatively, one can just use the B major as is, but use slide-in as the home position. |
