Easy Third
I got this tuning from Rick Epping, it is a great tuning for Irish music and especially if you like to play chords and octaves. As you can see your blow side of the harmonica is a C major chord, and the draw side is D minor except for hole 7 draw. This is perfect for Irish tunes as a lot of them alter between these two chords. You can also play octaves on hole 2-5 & 3-6 draw which you can't do on a Richter or Paddy Richter.
