Hey Winslow, I published that information in The Harp Handbook in 1990. And all these years I'd thought that you'd read it! I also would like to point out that this tuning is brilliant for 5th position, that would be Am and Bm in the keys F & G which Paul mentioned, which most conveniently are the parallel minor keys to the major keys found in 2nd position, opening up a whole range of tunes to the curious player which would be tough on standard tuning
