I'm reading this old post on Paddy Richter by Richard Hunter (you around, 
Rich), and jeez I'm confused.
Here's what is says.

Larry Pratt requested information on the Paddy Richter tuning, to which
Scorcher replied:
"Actually, Larry, you can just buy 2 Lee Oskars;
1 standard diatonic & 1 Melody Maker (or just the
reedplates for the 2nd one).  Use the Blow plate from the MM & the draw
plate from the Richter."

Scorcher is correct, but he should have added that the Lee Oskar Melody
Makers are named for the key in 2nd position, not 1st position as per
standard tunings.  So, for example, one would use the blow reedplate
from a G Melody Maker with the draw reedplate from a standard C harp to
make a Paddy Richter C harp.  (This harp is GREAT for "Christo Redentor"
in 3rd 
position.__________________________________________________________________Okay, 
so how do I use two disparte reedplates to get a Paddy in G? And is the hole 
layout going to be the same as the standard PR tuning?
