SBS G Tuning

[Barry Schaede <barrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here goes, this is what mine looks like. It starts on the G below middle C.

Unfortunately the final 2 holes are rather badly tuned.  this is true of 
all of the SBS's I own.  Hohner claims that Steve Baker doesn't play 
these notes so it's somehow ok.  Steve Baker admits the problem and 
apologizes for Hohner's quality breach in this particular area.  The 
problem with these upper reeds is that they're so short they're virtually 
impossible to retune to a correct value.  FJM
