I have B min on my principal box, a Saltarelle Nuage.
Some of my other boxes have the major chord, but I can never find a use for it in the music I play and I invariably end up using the cross-row minor fudge. Presumably when the design of the melodeo ..read more

My 2.4 Salterelle came with B minor, rather than B major. Funny thing is I tend to use it as a conciously selected alternative to Bm7 rather than a first choice. Habit, I guess.
