Re: [Harp-L] Steve Baker Special



The difference between the regular 365/364 series and the SBS is the SBS is exactly like a regular 10 hole diatonic with another 3 holes grafted onto the lower end. The 3 holes that are added are the same as the first 3 holes on a regular diatonic. They're just an octave lower than the rest of the harmonica. For example with an F SBS the first 3 holes are tuned identically to a low F 10 hole diatonic. The next 10 are exactly the same as a regular F diatonic and the last hole, 14, is an extension of the pattern above hole 7.

Here's the tuning in G. The G version starts like a normal G 10 hole and the remaining notes are like a high G 10 hole.

          1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14

By the way I found this by typing sbs tuning fjm into the google custom search engine I created and what I found now is my latest tweak now has it scooping up the very latest harp-l posts with virtually no lag. My post this morning was in my search results. That url is

What this gives you is google's search algorithms pointed at harp-l's archives.
