Simply put, yes. When I play along to an album, I allways use my chrom to
find the tonic. Basically, it's just easier, as I can convince myself that
the Richter harp is in the right key, even if it's not. With the chrom,
though, I have to get it right, and then, if I want that thick tone, I
switch to a diatonic, or maybe a Natural Minor:)
