Re: [Harp-L] Retuning SBS for solo tuning

[fjm <mktspot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The blow notes would be fine in the first octave, CEG but after that 
you'd be retuning every single note from the 2nd C on.  The draw notes 
are worse, you get to keep the first D and then retune every single note 
up or down.  Taking the B to an F would be fun.  The D to B.  It would 
be a project and a half.  This from someone who once took the 2 lowest 
reedplates he could find in the Lee Oskar line and then retuned the 
harmonica to a low A.  Solder was involved and when I was almost done I 
snapped a reed so I got to learn all about swapping reeds and dealing 
with Mr. Farrel.  At least that was only 10 holes.  I can't imagine 
adding another 4 and those little tiny reeds at the top end of the SBS 
are next to impossible to retune.  At least they are for me.  Of course 
you'd be the first on your block with a retuned SBS solo.  I know I was 
with the low A.  I am so looking forward to buying not making that low 
low F I ordered today.  fjm
