RE: [Harp-L] Tuning your harps?

["Chris Michalek" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you play enough you'll know when your harp are out of tune. The
note will not sound as bright or respond as well. Some of my GMs last
a few gigs and others last for several months.  I carry three or four
of each key.

I'll tune a reed once.  If it doesn't stick then I replace the reed
or the harp.
