Take a standard harp and tune the 3 blow up a wholetone.  Should be 
pretty straightforward.  It's more convenient if you can remove the 
reedplates from the comb to do the retuning, since the blow reeds are 
mounted on the inside of the top plate, but you can push the reed 
through the slot and support it on top while you scrape/file/sand away 
material from the tip.
