I needed to change the first octave of my diatonic Harmonica to get a more complete major scale for playing old time fiddle tunes. A normal diatonic goes Do Re Mi Sol Sol Ti Do, missing Fa and La–two notes that are useful in melodies. I changed the first draw reed from Re to Fa (E to G on my D harp). Then I changed the second draw reed From Sol to La (A to B). Now it only skips Re in the scale. I had to chop the tip off the first reed and shorten the slot with some solder. Actually, I soldered in a short piece of reed, but got mostly solder. Works OK. Has this tuning already been used? Photo attached.
