Hi. I am a retired engineer who has an idea for a new kind of reed based instrument (prototype works!) and would love to talk with you how I might fabricate some custom reed plates and fasten reeds to them. Would be happy to compensate you for your time. How might I contact you?
Sir question : I read from Arzaq (I think ..) that when a reed was gapped , it was better to wait 1-2 days before closing the harmonica because of metal (brass in our case) strain relaxation. I didn’t believe too much but …I must say that it did happen on my MB on the 2 reed blow. I had gapped it the way I wanted . But it wasn’t consistent. I had to go to work etc. 2 days later , I tried it…and voila! Simply gorgeous she is now . Coincidence? Comments?
Hello ikust007, we both get around don't we?! Regarding your recent experience--it was no coincidence. I am in the process of formulating my thoughts for a future HARPSMITH Benchcraft UA-cam episode, specifically addressing "Ductility" properties of harmonica reeds. How to use Ultrasonic Treatment for stress relaxation after reed work (tuning, gapping, etc.) to encourage reed longevity. But for now, my recommendation is to allow your harmonica to sit idle for one week, then verify the tuning and playability before securing the Cover Plates. Your HARPSMITH, Kinya
@@HARPSMITH900 thank you sincerely: someone was saying that the sonic cleaner would peel off the varnish… and I wanted to be polite so I said that I didn’t think there was varnish , With all modesty .
