Hi--
I am taking the liberty of retuning some of the Natural Minor harmonicas we have in stock here at Suzuki Music USA, as I know that most players want what has come to be known as the standard tuning for natural minor diatonic harmonicas.

No need to worry about hygiene, the draw plates is removed from the harmonica, tuned by hand and checked on another harmonica, then cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and reinstalled on the (never played) new harmonica. No human debris will be found on these harmonicas.
These are still labeled in first position, just like Hohner, but played in second—there is now a draw bend on hole 6, and the normal blow bend on hole 10.
PS I am also flat sanding the draw plate, certainly doesn’t hurt anything!

Order from Rockin' Ron, he can get them out to you fast--bear in mind that I have only done a dozen, in half a dozen keys, and am not back at work until Tuesday.
