Over the years since I first recorded with it on my 1994 album “New Irish Harmonica”, Paddy Richter tuning has steadily gained in popularity for Irish and folk melodies.
So far it’s only been available on the blues harp, but I now have a 10 hole Paddy Richter harp with a slider in the keys of D and G. It’s in my Slide Diatonic configuration, where the slider raises each note to the next note of the home scale. That gives a harp player easy, harmonious slide decorations, similar to the ones on whistle, flute and fiddle.
This is a new and unique harmonica. Here's the video:
