Tuning, Part 2: Harmonica Shootout

11/13/2013

26 Comments

 
Last night, I retuned a C Marine Band harmonica using A=432Hz as the reference.  Below is an audio file comparing that harmonica to another C Marine Band harmonica tuned with A=440.  I recorded it on my Sony PCMM10; it's a continuous .wav file and no EQ was applied afterwards, just light compression on the entire file to help highlight any differences between the two.  I tried to play the same riffs the same  way each time, but this is far from scientific.  The 440Hz harmonica is first.   

Tell me, what are your impressions?

UPDATE, 04/10/2014:


I am happy to announce that I can provide Hohner Marine Band Deluxe and Special 20 harmonicas re-tuned for use with A=432 instruments.  For rates, please email me at glhundt_at_yahoo.com or use the contact form!
