I recently purchased two Chromaharps on eBay, from different sellers.

Both were in tune, but exactly one halftone flat (so a C major chord was really B, etc.)

Do you think this was a coincidence, or is this a common practice among Chromaharp users, possibly to reduce stress on the body?

Probably just an accident... or one was just tuned by ear.
It's hard to play WITH folks that way.....

Tune 'em like YOU like 'em. There should be no problem with stress

Hi Beeliner,

I agree with Bill D. I play and repair them.
