Re: [Harp-L] Reed file

[Jon Harl <jharl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

James: Filing the reeds would change there pitch and possibly ruin  
the harmonica. The discoloring is from normal use. I'd just leave it  
alone. However a good file to get for tuning your harmonica comes in  
the Seydel Repair Kit or the Hohner Service Kit.
