In the music mix the harmonica becomes a little brighter and cuts 
through a little better if tuned slightly sharp. Unfortunately other 
musicians know this trick too. So it turns out that whole bands play 
at A445 or even sharper...

The LO is tuned even relativly flat if it's A441. Most Harmonica 
models are brighter.
