Um, not to be out of place here, but isn't this your website: http://

I know most harmonica techs are fairly self-trained, but shouldn't  
this be the sort of thing you learn before going pro and charging for  
your services?  I mean, when I hire a plumber he may have his  
apprentice do much of the work, but the apprentice isn't the guy in  
charge until he's done his time on the job and can answer such basic  
questions for himself.

Knowing that you can't get a _high_ A from a _standard_ B harmonica  
would seem to me to be well below the basic level of knowledge  
someone should have before they are charging for services.  Perhaps  
you miswrote, but if so I really can't imagine what that might have  
been.
