F sharp tuning   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #807 of 1270 |
Folks,

Wondering if the harp is tuned with F sharp about the scales/modes this creates.

I gather this creates a G major scale and that due to the sharp it does not fit
with the regular
modes, aside from G Ionian (I think).

So what is the scale/mode with this tuning, if the keys of AC and D are used as
well as G.

e.g. ABCDEFsharpGA etc.

Is there a name for these modes/scales???

Cheers

JP
