[Harp-L] problem: lowest draw reed clicks

[Oliver Schoenborn <oliver.schoenborn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks, I have a low F Special 20 that I bought new a couple months 
ago. I noticed right when I first tried it that the lowest draw reed 
makes a clicking sound when I draw, and the sound goes away if I take 
the cover off, so I figure the reed is so bouncy it touches the cover. 
This is odd 'cause you'd think the Hohner engineers would be smart 
enough to make the cover higher for the lower key harmonicas. What's 
even weirder is that recently I noticed the same now happens with my G 
and C (I don't have A or B yet), but they definitely didn't use to do 
it. So I'm wondering if there's a way of raising the cover (short of 
carving a wooden piece for it) for the low F, and if this signals the 
end of the lifetime for the G and C. Thanks,

Oliver
