The information on precise setups for the Country tuning is very interesting to me. I confess that I've always acquired country-tuned harps either by
1) buying a harp in that tuning, or
2) tuning the draw 5 reed by ear. In this case, I just tune it until it sounds good. (Then I stop tuning.)
I suppose if I had an electronic tuner that allowed me to get precise about the cents involved, I might use it for this purpose. But nowadays I mostly just buy them in the tuning I want.
Thanks, Richard Hunter
