RE: reducing the gap

I usually use the end of a small screwdriver or paperclip.  Remember
the reed is lie a spring.  So you'll have to change it's memory. 
Push it down further than you think and "plink" it up.  Keep doing
that ultin the reed is where you want it.  however, be careful to not
over do it nor should you use too much pressure when adjusting the
spring/reed memory you could crack the reed.


Plink plink plink,
