Hello, everyone. Is this where I should introduce myself?
"IaNerd" means that I am from Iowa (abbr. Ia) in the heart of the USA, and that I-am-a-nerd.
My first harp was a pearwood Old Standby in 1972. Decades later I remain a novice player. However, I have developed a passion for studying and designing alternate tunings for harmonica and a couple other instruments. I have been a science educator and my music theory--such as it is--is self-taught.
I have played Hohner, LO, Suzuki, Tombo, Swan and Seydel. These days I rely heavily on Seydel's Configurator and their Custom Shop to try new ideas.
I have already posted a growing body of work on Brendan Power's forum "Interesting Alternative Harmonica Ideas". Most of my ideas thus far have been for diatonic harmonicas, but I have also shared material regarding slide harps.
I intend to use this forum to learn more about alternate tunings and related matters.
