Re: [Harp-L] What's up with bushman Delta Frost's

When I adjusted my Delta Frosts, I found the same thing and after 
while, they seemed too 'tight'. I experimented recently and when I 
opened the gaps on the blow reeds, I liked the way they played and 
sounded much better. As always, your experiences may not end up the 
same.

I'm still waiting for the reed plates I ordered in March 2007.  I 
vaguely recall
the last update being that they would be available sometime in August.

On an unrelated note (since I seem to abhor uni-threaded discussions), 
has
anyone else done reed arcing/gapping work on a DF?  I've done it to 
three DF so
far and each time, although they played "tighter/better", each of them 
lost that
DF grittiness that I liked so much about the DF.  Are there special
considerations when tweaking a DF?

Thanks,
Jonathan
