Re: [Harp-L]Dm on Bb harp

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

F is 2nd position on a Bb harmonica and Dm is the relative minor of F. That 
means the key of Dm uses the same notes as F, but starts with D instead of F as 
the first note.

On a B harmonica, F major/ D minor would be 7th position. 

Hope this helps.
