Hi Kniri, thanks for interesting comparison.
I don't use other tunings, but I bought (basic) spiral G and I think it has big potential not only for chords, but for melody also.
It's cool harp to play many scales/positions (C, cm, am, G, gm, F) without OBs (only half step draw bends).
What kind of spiral tuning do you prefer (I suppose "Kniri 221"), and why? :o)
Best regards

Hi Bart
Thanks for the interest
I prefer the Richter-Tuning and my "Kniri 221"-Tuning
because it allows to play on the same instrument 5 major-scales, 5 minor-scales and 16 different triads, which are related/similar to the circle of 4th and 5th.
The nice thing about this is if you blow or draw any three notes right next to each other then it will always result in a chord (triad in root position), major or minor depending where you are.
This makes it very easy if you want to use the instrument to play Blues and accompany someone.
See my webside www.kniri.ch (BluesAccordion)
Regards, Kniri
