This PDF can be used by pedal harp players, and by lever harp players who tune their harps to 3 flats.

Here's Mac's special message to lever harp players:
This workbook is designed for lever harps that are somewhere in the range of four to five octaves: 27-strings to 36-strings will do just fine. Smaller Lap Harps also work well for improvising but don't have strings low enough for comping. A full set of levers is not necessary, but a lever on the B string above middle C is important. The examples in this book are for a blues in F (1 flat). This is a common blues key. But the ideas can just as easily be applied to C, B-flat, and E-flat, the other common blues keys.
