I'll second that, but I'll also third it as well. The more
I play third position, the easier it gets, and it does provide
a jazzier feel without the purchase of more harps (my case is
already full), and it really ain't that hard to pick it up
after you become reasonably fluent in second position.

Of course, I've yet to try the natural minor harps. Anyone
out there who feels comfortable in third position found
an advantage to these special tunings?
