? Thanks for the link
to Kinya Pollard's Harmonica Workbench, which contains lots of
interesting and clearly explained how-to articles.? In the August 2008
edition ( http://www.harmonicasessions.com/aug08/Pollard.html
), there are several things i don't understand.? Can anyone point me to
a link or better describe what Kinya is trying to explain re the
profiles of the newer Hohner "Knittlingen scale type reeds" vs the older type of reed?
? This edition also demonstrates Kinya embossing a harp.? He embosses only 70% of the length of the reed slot and leaves the end of the slot opposite the rivet un-ebossed, so that the free swinging end of the reed still has a lot of tolerance surrounding it.? What is the purpose of not embossing the entire length of the slot?
? I'm not familiar with the seam scraper tool (Micro-Mark tool #80801).? Can anybody shed any light on what this tool does and how to use it?? I read the description on the Micro-Mark website ( www.micromark.com ), but I still don't understand.
