Can any one out there in harp land tell me what the tuning for each hole is, OR give me a link to a web page.
I need to retune and don't know what % to tune down or up to.
I searched the archives and didn't find what I'm looking for.

Here is the link for any one else that may need to know,

I have a chart of diatonic harp tunings at http://www.harmonicaspace.com and also at http://www.deltafrost.com.
It is listed under the title Diatonic Harmonica Tunings - An Update and it includes the Sp20 and many more.

@BBQ BOB,
Thanks I found it on Deltafrost with the search function.
Good to have the other tunings also,WOW I see the 7 limit just tuning has a -29% in there. Damm that seems like a lot.

All of the classic stuff done by both Waltes and both Sonny Boys, pre 1975 Sonny Terry, Butterfield, etc. were all done on harps tuned to 7LJI, as this was stock tuning for most diatonics back then (and why the chords and double stops sounds so smooth and clear). If you play with too much breath force, it sounds much flatter. Now when you hear their recordings, do they seem that far out to you?
