My alternate tuning ideas:

I came up with some alternative tunings for Cajun Accordions and Diatonic Harmonicas. The one row Cajun-Accordions do usually have the same 'Richter' tuning as a Bluesharp has.

I was looking for an easier way to play the Blues with the common three chords (C, F and G7 in the key of C). After playing around for some time I invented a continuous scale for diatonic instruments."Cyclic Scale 221". This means that the notes do always have the same steps. This allows to play 5 different mixolydian major scales and 5 different natural minor (aeolian) scales, which are related/similar to the circle of 4ths (and 5ths).
