Major scale, intuitive, beginners


D / A C D E F# G A C D (10 notes)




Mixolydian. hexatonic (without 6th). Major Version of the Celtic Minor.


D Celtic Major: D / A C D E F# G A C D

D Celtic Minor: D / A C D E F G A C D


You realize there's just one note different: Thbe F is raised y one semi-tone to an F#, giving the instrument a positive, euphoric, enchanting mood with medieval flair.

The ladybug was the same opinion. Everyone knows that playing together with the ladybug creates abundant amounts of luck inside the instrument. Except if you hit the ladybug, of course.


And here's the final design:
