Re: [Harp-L] cusom diatonic owners

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Warren,

I've gone both routes. 

I prefer to send back customs to have reeds
replaced when they've gone totally flat, but I have
no problem tweaking them up some if they're not too
far gone. I'll also adjust gaps if they've strayed
from where the pro had them.

I also have a custom that I replaced a reed on all
by my lonesome (easier than I thought) using a Bill
Romel reed replacement kit and a reed from an old
parts-harp Marine Band. I had practiced replacing
reeds on an old beater harp first to get the
technique figured out. It worked great.
