RE: Re: XB-40 in C: high notes squeaking?

["Tim Moyer" <wmharps@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, my XB-40 in C has this problem pretty acutely.  The unbent 10 
hole blow is almost unplayable (the bend is impossible), and the nine 
and 10 draw squeal terribly on a bend.  I haven't opened mine up yet, 
I talked with Paul Harrington at our HOOT meeting last week and he 
has the same problem with his C.  I'm tempted to send it back to 
Hohner for adjustment.  In the mean time, I'm working on other 
things...

I´m sure it lies on the instrument. My A harp has some problems in 
hole 10,
and I believe Tim M.´s too.
Try tewaking that hole and tell us about your results.
