Diminished tuning

Diminished tuning is a system of choosing the reeds for a diatonic wind instrument (such as a harmonica or accordion) in which the blow notes repeat a sequence of

C E♭ F♯ A

and draw notes follow a repeating sequence of

D F G♯ B

(perhaps shifted to begin with E♭ and F, with F♯ and G♯, or with A and B).

For example:

hole  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9101112
blow note CEFACEFACEFA
draw note DFG♯BDFG♯BDFG♯B
