A few rapid responses just before I get in my car and head for the UK champs.

The theoretically perfect just intonation for a minor triad (like the blow chord of a nat minor of harm minor, eg. C Eb G) expressed as deviation from equal temperment is:
+0.000 cents; +15.641 cents; +1.955 cents
Similarly for the m9 chord (draw chord of nat minor harp, eg. G Bb D F A)):

Yup, gold is expensive, so that plating is a little on the thin side...

Absolutely. Althogh both Cotton and Blue play the harp, these particluar thoughts really have nothing to do with the harmonica. Thisd thread belongs on blues-l (to which I don't subscribe, because of these kind of discussions which never really lead anywhere useful, IMHO).
Hugh's comments on cases:

Too true, the amount of times I've had to get a new case, or rework and old one, because my requirements have changed...
And again from Hugh:

He never >even did me the courtesy of replying, and I remain on his list. > >So I subscribed him to harp-l, in the hope that he would show his ass and >piss y'all off.
Certainly did! Are you sure his surname is correctly spelled? :-)
