Thread Name: 'Biblical' tuning for harp?
Subject: RE: 'Biblical' tuning for harp?
Some years ago, Smithsonian reviewed a cd from an archeologist who asked the same question about the Babylonian harp. After comparing several thousand pictures and reading every description of the sound he could find, he decided it was tuned in C maj. Similar languages, known cultural interaction, maybe C maj is what you need.
