Maj79 built in, tritone substitution - and in fact "standard" (to be) as standard can be... >:

Assume you alude to "jazz standards"? :P. To be clear,  on rrow chord is 7b9, not Maj79, but that might be there if we use the other row. I don't have the spreadsheet as I'm on a field trip just now.

It is totally experimental …

Jazz standards are perfectly fine with me (loved to play this sort of stuff on the piano) but I was referring to the topic of this thread (following your respective remark). The idea of this box is likewise unique and qualified for looked upon as being "standard"  >:E as it is, as you're saying in the thread o'erthere, basically one row, duplicated and shifted, and thus the ultimate two-row, with presumable no need of modifications at all.

I had mused about your spreadsheet yesterday, and I'm well aware of the major seventh missing in the one row, and not yet sure where to find them...

Besides, maybe a silly idea and of no further advantage, but have you considered a flat-third  three-row? Too much to go through just in the mind, would need a (piano) keyboard I guess...

didn't happen that way. As some may have picked up, I enjoy blues, and there are various ways of doing that on melodeon, virtually all on the pull wrt standard rows.

As for this thread … well, I'd come across the TT½ kniri tuning here and looked at its website. Interesting! This "unique" expresses blue notes naturally on the push, at the price of passing into a totally different key in second octave  :o But "so what" as Miles Davis once said. Blues does that sort of thing all the time.

Actually making one was problematic as Theo advised that a D or G row was easiest, but cheap one rows in those keys are uncommon. While derelict DG's two a penny on Fleabay. So those were my parameters, it was then a matter odf what to do with a second row on a system designed for single row play. we'll see …

I'd always assumed that "quint" referred to "quintessential English box"

You maybe confusing it with the runcible spoon-bassed "Quince" box, popular with our "moondance" set in late 19th century ;)
