This is with regard to the parent tuning of LeGato, but also is pertinent for the slide version.
I just realized that FourKey is a variation of Spanish tuning! Which is F blow, E draw . . .
So the blow chord is F A C, repeated every three holes, and the draw chord is E, again repeated every three holes. These notes are positioned such that the chords are staggered, so it’s | F G# | A B | C E |
The FourKey tuning is also F/E, and since it’s 5 holes per octave, the intervals are smaller on each hole, but the concept is the same.
| F F# | G G# | A B | C C# | D E |
So the Fourkey contains the notes of the Spanish tuning.
Todd Parrott contacted me not long ago to remind him of the formula for Spanish tuning, he is such a nice guy! Always a pleasure.
