I was tuning a harp last night and came up with an idea. If you take a cheap ($3-$5) harmonica that maybe your granma gave you, and take it apart. Lay it out on a table in the order that you took it apart. Notice that on the top plate of the harp the reeds point down and are hidden. On the bottom plate they are down, but exposed. Swap the plates around and it'll look just like before. (take the battom plate and put it on top, etc.) Now put all back together. When you BLOW through hole #2 you will now hear what 2 DRAW is supposed to sound like. It'll work on all of the holes. It's a great training technique. Use your normal harp and if you aren't sure if a draw tone sounds right, use your new "tuning" harmonica and blow through that same hole.
