help guys!

[Tan Cheng Ann <BA2319140@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello..
I need some help badly...
the new marine band i bought...
it didn't sound right on the second draw.
the G sounds very muffled (almost like playing your harp 
under a blanket)...so, i took it apart (thanks to modular
components) and tried tweaking the reed. I was inexperienced and
"overbent" the reeds...i quickly bent them back to normal. Itired
my best but the draw note still sounds weak. I don't remember it
sounding like this when i frist bought it (yesterday!) but i don't
really remember anyway. I need some tips on finetuning of harps...
urgently!!! please reply to by email rather than to the group (I
am subscribed to the digest, so it might take some time).

a side note here...i managed to bent the second draw (despite the
weak sound) and also the third draw...  :)  (  a :( for the weird
second draw reed).
