It's tuned to equal temperament rather than the intermediate tuning of the 
SP20.  Some would say that this is better for single-note melody-playing.  
The SP20 tuning attempts to take the sour edge off some chords but without 
the whole harp sounding as if it has several flat notes, as it would in some 
settings if it were tuned to Just intonation.

Harp Depot has this to say about the GM:

.......it's tuned slightly differently to produce a full, rich 
sound........... Gospel and hymns are what I play and I play SP20s, I have 
a group of 'em. So will playing the GM enhance the listening pleasure of 
people who like gospel and hymns? What is "slightly different tuning"?
Thanks, Donald
