Hi Marco,

Both my AS books were published by Intersong in Paris in the 1980's sometime. There is no information in either book (although I just quickly scanned the Preface in French in the Reflets/A l'Olympia book, using my very limited high schol French) and I can see no information about how he tuned the harp.

Someone once told me that he sometimes tunes the harp to a pentatonic scale and this makes some of the more expressive pieces work very well because all of the strings can be played together for example in a glissando and they harmonise with each other, which is not possible if the harp is tuned in the usual way. If you want to know the key signature of any pieces I can tell you that.

Can I suggest that you join Mudcat because when you are a member you can use the Personal Messages to write individually to other members. It is free to join and there are other benefits. It is an excellent on-line community and I am sure that you would not regret joining. I would rather correspond with you through Mudcat than via our own emails.
