Brian
As Frank said, if it's dropped that much it's had it I'm afraid, it's just one of those things i'm afraid - I think of it as metal fatigue but then I work in mental health not engineering, so i can probably help you more with the stress and anxiety of it all than the technical no-how.


You can get replacement plates for Sp20s. In the UK you can get them from Harmonicas Direct and Harponline in Germany, not sure about anywhere else because i don't live there. Even better and a lot cheaper - you can replace the individual reed if you can get hold of the reeds, Harponline do them. If an idiot can do it, it can't be that difficult really.

Bill

The 4 draw reed in a Special 20 in D major has gone flat (almost down to D).
Is it worth trying to tune in back up to E or is it too far gone? Also,
what physically happens to a reed to make it go flat?
