Harp G minor in the second position

Hi

I recently bought a new harp and its a G minor as I have heard minor scale can sound great

It says its in the second position tuning.

Can anyone advise me how that works and what chords or notes I can play to it on my CBG

as I normally play in open D,AEA or G..

Does anyone know what are the minor chords for 3 and 4 string CBG?

Your help is appreciated

Mr Bug

Cuban Cigar Boxes

eBay just removed 2 of my CBG's that were supposedly made from Cuban Cigar Boxes due to a trade embargo. I purchased the boxes on EBay. I don't see any made in Cuba on the boxes. Anyone else have this problem? My description says nothing about Cuba in it, just Used Cigar Boxes!
