[Harp-L] Re: Hohner CX-12 Chromatic 'Sticks'

Hi, once again

Jim asked for a possible reason of his wrong working holes 6/7 
and Vern and Steve suggested that the valves could be the malefactors.  

Now, Steve advised:

<  A good test is to see whether warming up the harmonica 
< improves things.>  

Hey, why that? Jim mentioned the blows showing the mistakes. That
means that the valves are on the plate outside because the blow reeds 
are on the inside. Therefore, playing before a mirror immediately reveals
whether it´s the valve or not. 

And, BTW, to warm up a harp for better function is superflous and 
ineffective.It´s superfluous in case of blow reeds because the breath 
is warm enough and ineffective in case of draw reeds because the 
inhaled cold air immediately balances the warming.
