Hi,
I've just tuned my first harmonica, and even though the values in hz for all the notes are just a tad sharp of where the note is supposed to be on Gstrings, it sounds AWFUL, particularly the 5 draw and blow.
Is there a chart anywhere for the standard out-of-the-box tunings for a Marine Band, or else a slight but still very conventional improvement on that, with figures in hz?
When I search on the net, it's all swamped by stuff on people's preferred updated version and I want the bog standard one so I can make my harp sound less awful.
I'm sure it's out there and easy to find but I can't find it.
Thanks!
Richard
