Sounds to me like you were eating crackers when you played it the first
time :^)

Seriously Bob - I'm betting that somehow something got lodged in one of
the reeds if you couldn't get a note out of a particular reed. I'd open
it up and do a careful visual exam, maybe lightly pluck the reed in
question. Even if you're careful, it doesn't take much for a stray piece
of hair, anything from your mouth (even if you *think* there was nothing
in there and had brushed, etc), whatever to get under those reeds and
cause this.

If the reed really went bad after one play, well then you're covered
under that act that congress passed years ago about the harp lemon law
:^).....

   Just an  angry note while I'm tired and
disgusted: Recently spent $80 on a custom harp.
It arrived. I played a bit one day, liked it. The
next day I picked it up to play again and it had
a bad reed, couldn't get a note out of it. Guess
I can look at it as my $80 message from Harpgod
to learn how to work on my own harps. And/or go
back to Special 20s or Suzuki Folkmasters out of
the box. Grumble, moan, weep ...
