[Harp-L] SP 20s are the best for Customization

["Gary Lehmann" <hqr@xxxxxxx>]

I have recently entered a new phase of radically retuning harps--went thru
storage and got a bunch of used ones, and I find the Golden Melody harps
tough to use because the reed plates are nailed onto the comb.
Special 20s sound good, OB well, and have screws--although I found a few
that had their plates nailed on (?).
Does anyone make a comb for the GM for people who want to rebuild their
existing harp? One with holes for screws?

Group,

Golden Melodies are my favorite shaped harmonica. They are the most
comfortable for me but,

1) I don't like equal tempered tuning and
2) They don't make low,special tunings

Does anyone have suggestions? I can retune them to just...but wondered
if there is a way to get a low c golden melody for example.
Interchangeable reed plates...etc?

Thanks
