RE: [Harp-L] xb-40 tune-up

["Laurent \(Planet Harmonica\)" <laurent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Paul

I'm not sure if you already know, but the squealing on high bends is partly
due to the harp design. You can find more info by Rick Epping (the XB
designer) on http://www.planetharmonica.com/ph5/VE/XB_40HighNotesUK.htm.
This info was first sent to harp-l and reproduced on planet harmonica with
Rick's agreement as part of a global article on harmonicas based on Richter
allowing to play chromatically.

I'm afraid this doesn't fully answer you question but I thought it may help
you.

Thanks
Best regards

Sorry if I'm repeating myself but I purchased an XB-40
a couple of weeks ago and I'm wondering if more
experienced XB users have any setup suggestions
specific to this new type of harp or do I just follow
the process for regular harps.

One problem I definitely want to address is the squeal
I get on some higher draw bends. Is this to be
rectified with the beeswax/nail polish fix. Which reed
should it be applied to; the 'normal' reed or the
auxilliary? Anyone ever micropore one of these?
