Subject: RE: Question about Irish vs English fiddling
FWIW, I have a Swiss made Hohner Primaton IV tuned in C#D. The basses are weird and wonderful and not particularly useful for playing music from the British Isles. All the chord are major except for Bb minor.

Push Pull Push Pull
D    A    G# F#
C#   G#    F   Bb minor
