The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
=Microtonal harmonica= All instruments with free metal reeds can, principally, be retuned. In the case of harmonicas, it is even sort of common practice. Step-by step instructions how to retune harmonicas (and a lot of other 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: [[media type="file" key="Harmonica5EDO.mp3" width="240" height="20"]] Near-5edo scale, standard diatonic harmonica in C (amateurish attempt) The same property makes the harmonica very well suited to play [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|middle-eastern]] and [[indian]] music. See separate page [[maqamat on harmonica]] .
