[Harp-L] Special 20 tuning?

[pdxha...@comcast.net]

I can't seem to find the tuning for SP20s on the hohner website - anyone know where I could find exactly how the factory tunes them?  I seem to notice that when my guitar guy tunes (right on 440) there are a few notes on my well used low F# harp that sound horribly out of tune.  Don't really know whether to tune to the guitar or to factory specs. Thought I'd tune to factory and see how that works. 

I have many Seydel 1847s and they are tuned from a base of 443 with covers off and then some draw and blow notes are fine tuned from there. 

 Also, I asked a pro player friend of mine how to best set up out of the box harps and he said "It's simple just get Winslow's book and do it exactly how he tells you in the book"  - no affiliation, but I just bought the book online. 

Thanks for your help on the tuning advice on SP20s.

Hi,
Most Hohners are tuned to either A442-A443, but as far as the actual tuning schemes if they're not tuned to equal temperament, such as the Sp20's, I have them listed here at this link:

I'm sure this should help.
