Re: Reed sound, where does it come from?

I notice that when I test the re-tuned reeds on the comb without the 
coverplates, the pitch seems sharper than when I put the coverplates back 
on. As a result, I try to pinch the coverplates on the reedplates and comb 
when I do my final tests so I don't put the whole harp back together only to 
discover the re-tuned reed sounds flat.

Has anyone else experienced this?
