The Blues Session Steel in C (Wilde Rock Tuning) is a special tuning of the Session Steel, which can be traced back to the Seydel endorser Will Wilde.
Will Wilde Rock Harmonica Tuning
Seydel endorser Will Wilde is the inventor of this special tuning, which is particularly well suited to the harder gait of rock and blues rock music. Read here how Will Wilde came up with this tuning, which he has been using regularly for a few years now:
"I designed the "Wilde tuning" specifically for playing hard rock and blues rock on the harmonica. Even though I love the standard Richter tuning, I always found it frustrating when I wanted to play "rock guitar"-like licks, especially in the upper octave. The "Wilde tuning" fixes all the problems I had on the Richter, while retaining the bluesy 2nd position feel that all players know and love.
Whereas the traditional Richter tuning was primarily designed for playing major chords and the corresponding major scale in the first position, the Wilde tuning is specifically designed for playing in the minor pentatonic and blues scale in the 2nd position, equally across all three octaves!
I have always found the sound of the draw notes (and draw bends) to be fuller than the sound of the blow notes - the draw notes simply have more expression, a fatter sound and a more beautiful vibrato. With the "Wilde tuning" I can bend ALL draw notes (1-10) without exception and the fundamental is a draw note in all three octaves.
I think the "Wilde Tuning" is the configuration that every ambitious rock harmonica player has been waiting for! "
