There are quite a number of videos in the web showing step by step how retuning is done, for example by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQqMIhBCQCY&feature=related|Håkan Ehn]] . | |||
A lot of information on harmonicas and tuning can be found on [[http://www.patmissin.com/tunings/tunings.html|Pat Missin's homepage]]. | |||
Not to forget is that, in the case of the diatonic harmonica (aka "blues harp"), the playing technique known as "bending" already allows, within certain limits, infinite pitch variations, even without retuning. For example, it is possible to play a near-[[5edo]] scale on a standard harmonica (starting on E or "sort of Db" on a C harmonica): | Not to forget is that, in the case of the diatonic harmonica (aka "blues harp"), the playing technique known as "bending" already allows, within certain limits, infinite pitch variations, even without retuning.
