Hi all!
I have been fiddling around with harps for a while. The most annoying thing for most of us is the fatique of reeds. I guess that reed quality today is determined by sales figures and somewhere half way between what is profitable to manufacture and what customers still buy because they accept the lifetime. Maybe because they don't know that reeds can last longer. If they lasted longer, the harmonica lasted longer and sales figures would drop. Also price would increase because of higher reed quality. But I am not willing to accept that we have to use crap reeds, which are visibly crap. Has anybody tried to make reeds? Of higher quality materials, from different alloys with good surface etc. I would be interested to know more about this topic.
