By Leo Arnaud
Key: Eb Major    Adapted Range: Eb3 to Eb6
Tabbed for an Eb Major, and G Major Richter tuned diatonic
2nd harp is shown below -4____, 8____, and -8____

Tab notations: 
none = blow    - = draw    hold = ___    ob = overblow
6_5 = slur; with continued breath, move smoothly from
      blow 6 to blow 5 to make one sliding sound.
(432) = blow chord   
636 = triplet, play all three notes during
      the span of 1 full beat/count
4x1 = tongue blocked octave;
Note to beginners: if you’re unable play a chord
or tongue block yet, just play the higher note.
It’ll still sound good.
