I reccommend this workshop.  I went to one in Phoenix a couple of years 
ago and it totally changed my life in terms of harmonica.  Learning to 
tune and adjust your own harmonica is a must for anyone who's serious 
about the instrument.  It's the only way to have the level of control over 
the harmonicas performance that you need to play at that next level.  The 
book you get with the workshop is worth the price of admission alone.  
Tuning layouts of every diatonic commonly made today.  Alternate tunings 
that Lee has devised that aren't in current mass production.  The amazing 
thing for me was the amount of stuff that I kind of knew that came 
together for me in the month after the workshop.  Synergy at its best.  
You can learn to tune and adjust a harmonica on your own (I did) but this 
is a whole bunch easier and faster.  Just because harmonica is a solo 
instrument doesn't mean you have to go it alone.  FJM
