Zorro--and John in Brisbane: My "erudite reply" had one major (or, rather, minor) error in it: For playing most minor folk tunes, US, Irish, etc., it's not the harmonic minor harp you need, but the natural minor, that uses the same notes as the relative major (Aminor and C, Eminor and G, Bminor and D, F#minor and A, etc.)--sorry. --seed
