Lowering a B harmonica by a wholetone would make a standard A.

Depending on the model I was making, I'd start with a high G if I 
could get one and raise it a wholetone.  Alternatively, I might start 
with a standard F# and go up three semitones.  If I wanted a Seydel or 
a Bushman, I'd just buy the high A off the shelf.
