[Harp-L] Suzuki Chromatix fine tuning

[Gary Lehmann]

It is my experience that reeds go flat if you play them--and eventually
break.
And I think chroms should be tuned to ET unless you are playing them for
chords--oh, let's say 3rd position.
I like the SCX--and I get to fix the warranty harps for Suzuki. Sweet!
