Thanks for nice comments - I'm a long way from things in Australia, and 
its hard to know if its coming out right. The tuning system is one which 
I devised, based on the Lee Oskar Melody Maker tuning. There is no 
secret to it, the details are at http://www.harmonicatunes.com/retuned.shtml

While I highly recommend this tuning, I've actually spent the last 
couple of years teaching myself to play fiddle tunes (or traditional 
music, as I call it) on regular diatonics, using first, second and third 
position. I did this because I was writing an online harmonica course 
(Harmonica Academy, at http://www.HarmonicaAcademy.com), and I couldn't 
expect players to adopt a new tuning system in order to take my lessons. 
If you're interested in how I play, then visit Harmonica Academy. It 
contains most of my musical brain...
