Re: [Harp-L] Cheap Repair Practice harps

None of them.

Use one (only one) of your old broken harps and practice on that.
Try every reed (blow and draw ) tune it up flatten it a little bit and  
then
tune it again until you are comfortable with the process.

This'll save you the cost of harps and all you'll lose at most is one  
harp. Who knows you may get it right first time.

A quick tip as well. Use the big chisel that comes with the kit first  
until you get used to it. It's easier than using the file if you are  
not used to using a file.
Remember do a little then test ( a little is a couple of strokes) then  
a little more then test again.

It's a relatively easy thing to do and will save you a whole heap of  
cash in the long run.
