[Harp-L] Retuning a Hohner Autovalve 105

[Barbara Butler <bsvb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim and others,

	I am thinking about tuning the 3 blow up a full tone on an 
Autovalve 105.  I have done this on standard diatonics.  I know I would 
have to tune both blow reeds up the same amount, since it is an octave 
harp.  Are there any secrets for tuning these without damaging the 
valves?
Also, is there anywhere I could get a description of what reeds are 
where inside, or is it set up like a diatonic with blow reeds on top,  
draw on the bottom?
