 I have a very old chrom with an external leaf spring to return the slide.
It's tuned C to Am. Plays perfectly.

  Subject: Here's a weird one


  I have a new student, who's 70 years old.  He brought his Hohner
Chromonica, 12 hole.  He's had it since he was fifteen.  Never done a thing
to it.  Here's the weird thing.  The top plate is in C sharp, and the button
drops it to C.  It has always been that way.  I have a Celtic tuned Herring
G to F sharp, but I can't imagine a chromatic harp tuned deliberately to C
sharp.  Were they made that way years ago, or is it that somebody had
switched the plates around, and is that possible?  Bullfrog
