I have a set of spare Special 20 (Standard Tunning) Harmonicas which I use for practicing or as a back up. Thinking of turning few into a Country Tuned or 7th Tunned Harmonicas - 5 & 9 Draw Raised by a Semi-Tone as follows.

How do I go about it? I have never opened a Harmonica before. I can start with C harp as its easily available if I mess it up :D
What Tools do I need? I see few people online who had success with Engrave Pens.
Are there any Video Tutorials I can refer to?
