Subject: hint for correct tuning nat. minor

i made a natural minor tuning from a C-Harp, but i don't
know what the exact values (cent/hertz) ? i only have harmonic
minor pro harp for reference, but a few notes are missing.
once i was adviced for maj7 tuning and indeed it sounds a lot
better than my tuning on F#, which was too high pitched ...
please can someone give the details for the natural minor ?

one experience: i retuned a C-Harp , 3 draw = B , but mine was also too
high pitche, that it really sounded awful, even the chord DGB , but i could
help myself , because i have many many C harps for comparison and it sounded
much better to lower B a little under 0 . unfortunately my digital tuner
is not as good as one with "needles", so i almost take another of same model
and key for reference ...

... but the correct cent/hz seems to be very important, i found out, even if
there is only 1 instrument in special tuning ...

thanks for help
