[Harp-L] Retuning harmonicas

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

I don't retune my harps.  In fact, i don't do anything to them other  
than occasionally adjusting the reed gaps.  BUT, if i did retune, i  
would be tempted to lower the 7 draw a half step. For the material i  
play, this would be a useful mod for each of 5 positions I play in,  
1st thru 5th, (as well as 12th if i ever learn that one).  And, if i  
understand correctly, i believe one would then be able to bend the 7  
blow to get the note that was available on the draw 7 before it was  
retuned...no?

Now, I'm not actually going to do this,  and if i tried, i'd probably  
screw it up.  But, IF i did do retuning, this would be what i would  
do,  FWIW.
