I saw my first Blues Harp at Manny's in '67.  I asked what the diff was, 
and the guy behind the counter said he'd heard that it was tuned slightly 
differently, meaning it had the same notes but some were a few cents 
sharper or flatter.  I bought one and heard no difference whatsoever.  I 
thought there was something wrong with my ears.

I'd love to know if there was any difference at all.

All I could think was, When the hell are they going to make a harp with a 
plastic comb?
