For those of us who have  written asking about this K. Pollard technique but 
haven't seen the response, I  think i've found the above referenced Harp 
Workbench issue -  http://www.harmonicasessions.com/apr04/h-workbench.html
Also, since this poster (assuming the poster is male - the post wasn't 
signed)  follows the Pollard method, i wonder why he is this flatting the draw holes 
5  and 9 by -29, since this issue of Harp Workbench calls for -12, not minus  
29.   Is -29 acceptable or preferred?
I know it's  been covered many times, but I forget and couldn't find it in 
the  archives.  Once again, what is this particular modern Hohner just tuning  
called and what are the benefits of one just tuning scheme over  another?
