The intonation charts in the back of this publication (from Russian customizer Eugene Ivanov, aka Jim) show the thirds loweredÂby 1 cent for natural minor.
Â
However, Lee's own tuning charts start with an A440 basis and then raise pitch by 8 to 10 cents for standard tuning (therefore not true equal temperament as all notes are not raised by the same amount). I don't have his repair booklet at hand to show hisÂintonation scheme for natural minor. The book comes with his toolkit and is titled "The Art of Harmonica Maintenance."
