Anyone know Will Wilde's adopted tuning for guitar like lines?

I've heard him say it's similar to PowerBender tuning but with a couple departures. He doesn't specify what those departures are though.

Hi, here is a hint to those who tune their harmonicas self. If you start to make "Wilde" tuning from Richter-harp you have to tune 9 reeds. If you start with PowerBender only four reeds need to be tuned and one whole step maximum, mara

You could tune 7 draw down a half step and put a valve on 8 and call it a day.

HarpNinja said this above: "You could tune 7 draw down a half step and put a valve on 8 and call it a day."

I was thinking the same thing.

Wilde explains why he *doesn't* flat the 7 draw at 3:16 in the Youtube video above.

Personally, I would flat the 7 draw. It's not a matter of better/worse; it's a matter of personal preference.
