Re: [Harp-L] Big River

[Matthew Smart <matthewsmart@xxxxxxxxx>]

The big river is a little underrated. 3  things you can do to make it swell.

1) Add an extra reedplate screw. They are often missing the one that 
comes in the center tine.

2) Flat sand the draw plate to make sure it is flat.

3) Slap a custom comb on it. You will not believe the volume and 
resonance. I did a video on it here:

Part one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYCybaetj7U

Part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLZ-8h0IsXg

In the video. I show how to install it, how to flat sand drawplates 
(useful for anyone) and then have a 40 year player demo a comb for the 
first time. He is blow away! Fun to watch.

p.s. I always toss in an extra reedplate screw if you buy a big river 
comb from me.
