Subject: [Harp-L] Hohner CX-12 Chromatic 'Sticks'
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 08:08:15 -0500
Hi All,
I have a CX-12 chromatic that I've had for a little over a year and it has
lately developed a bad habit of certain notes 'sticking'. Holes 6 and 7 are
especially bad. The symptom is that the reed will respond very poorly with
low air pressure - not completely silent but pretty strangled/sickly.
Blowing harder will usually cause it to 'pop up' to a more normal sounding
note. Any idea what might be happening? I disassembled and didn't see
anything obviously wrong but I admittedly don't really know what I'm
looking for. This harp does not see extensive action (a few times a month
maybe) so reeds shouldn't be 'fatigued' yet, right?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Hanks
