        For diatonic harmonicas, the Harmonica Einstein Tuning Table might be big help, available at:

        http://tuningtable.com/

        Here is the introduction on the website:

        Harmonica Einstein's Tuning Table is a non-destructive in-the-box reed tuning tool.  Removing reed plates from the comb is no longer required to quickly tune all reeds and not disturb gapping.  old the work, not the tool.


        I have one and I have used it a few times, and it works great.  Cost $19.50.

          Here's my problem.  I'm blind and can't do work on my harps, but have trained my wife to do simple tuning with file.  Our problem:  we just can't get those blow reeds up out of the slot, in order to tune them.  Don't want to bend or break them.  Is there something simple to use?  Somebody mentioned part of a CD case, but I haven't got a clue what that is.

          Thanks for any suggestions.
