[Harp-L] New Suzuki Diatonics and questions

["Tim chauran" <timchauran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Paul, in regard to your Qs about the Bluesmaster, my experience has been 
that the cover plates usually need a little adjustment out of the box to 
line up the cover plates so they don't hang up on you lips, easily 
accomplished without removing the plates, just losen the screws with a small 
Phillips screwdriver, re-position them and retighten....it's also my 
understanding from a Pat Missin review on the Suzuki Folkmaster that the 
reeds on the Bluesmaster/Delta Frost are Phosphor, but the others are 
not....see http://www.planetharmonica.com/ph5/VE/Pat/MR-200PatUK.htm for 
more info...hope this helps.

A couple other questions about Suzukis:
I'm generally impressed by the product Suzuki puts out
but on both a Bluesmater and a Delta Frost I've tried
there have been leaks at the front edge of the cover
plates. They don't sit flush. Is this common to these
models or did I get bad ones.

Also, I hear varying information as to whether Suzuki
uses phospher bronze reeds. Plates are interchangeable
between Bluesmasters, Harpmasters, Bushman's Frost,
Overdrives and, I assume, Promasters. Any differences
among them?

Paul
