Re: Thanks for the crash course...

Lee Oskar also puts out a tool kit along with maintenance instructions.  It's
quite expensive for what it is but I didn't know that until I'd bought it!  I
can never resist harmonica related stuff -- it might contain just one hidden
secret that makes it all worth while.

| Thanks to Hugh, Bernie Clarke and Rick Barker
| for your invaluable suggestions and advice. I think
| I'll follow the consensus opinion and get a new D
| and use the old one as something to learn tuning on.
| I am also relieved to see the 'breaking in' myth
| exploded by the experienced players on this list.
| I'll definitely re-gap the reeds but I would be interested
| in hearing how you do it Hugh - I just gently push the
| reed from near its anchor point till I feel that I can
| draw/blow as hard as I want and I don't hear the reed
| choke. I also do some minimal checks on reed alignment.
| I'd like to do something about burrs but I don't have tools
| for that kind of delicate work.
| Thanks again
| Shankar.
