What a coincidence, I just got finished tuning my harmonica :)

Anyway, tuning a harmonica is quit easy. What you want to do is first remove the cover and take out the metal bit with the thin metal strips (reeds) attached to it. Then figure out which reed is out of tune. If it is too flat (pitch too low), you want to file a little of the metal off the end of the reed (the end that isn't attached to the rivet). If the pitch is too sharp, you want to file a little metal off the base, unless you can somehow find a convenient way to add metal at the end ;)
