Take a look at the reedplates. They may bear the signature of Jimmy Gordon, who came up with this tuning and presented me a harp exactly like this sometime around 1998. He honored with with it after he found out he'd unwittingly reinvented (well, almost) my Combination tuning, which is recorded in the Altered States compendium of altered tunings, which was complied IIRC through a collaboration here on harp-l sometime around 1995. I gave it the name Maple Suger tuning, as I'd used it to play a traditional Canadian fiddle tune by that name.

If you know this by another name I'd be curious to know. The harmonica
is JI of some sort, definitely not 12T ET.
