"Paddy Richter" tuning

[mlpratt@xxxxxxx]

Steve Shaw writes that re-tuning the 3-blow a whole tone up, you then have a 
harp in the so-called "Paddy Richter" tuning. 

I'd like to try this tuning.  I'm really not proficient at tinkering under the 
hood.  I'll probably have to buy them from one of the customizers on list.  The 
question I have for the harp techs is, Would you re-tune the 3-blow reed or 
would you just replace the 3-blow reed with a reed of the correct note?  It 
seems liek a replaced reed would last longer.
