I have been thinking about buying maybe a couple of harps for more country style playing. I was thinking of Lee Oskar Melody Makers but open to other suggestions What would be the most common keys to go for? I doubt they'd be A, D, but maybe G in the mix
That's the key I am recommending. Here is the continuum, by my reckoning. Country Tuned--raise 5 draw to F#. Paddy Richter--raise 3 blow to A. Double Country--5 and 9 are both raised to F#. Melody Maker--all of the above. Major Cross--all of the above, plus raise blow 1 to D, draw 1 to E, and 10 blow to B. All of this on a C harp--for our purposes.
