To make a C paddy:

blow reeds from "G" MM (top plate, drilled-through holes)
draw reeds from "C" Richter (bottom plate, threaded holes)
(because Lee Oskar labels the MM's in cross-harp key...)

Others available:
D paddy: blow reeds from A MM/draw reeds from D Richter
F paddy: blow reeds from C MM/draw reeds from Low F Richter
G Paddy: blow reeds from D MM/draw reeds from G Richter 
A Paddy: blow reeds from E MM/draw reeds from A Richter
