[Harp-L] Re: Big River reedplate edges

[Jim Rossen <jimjimdr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Most of the Hohner harmonicas with protruding reedplates have
unpleasantly sharp edges/corners.  The fix takes ten minutes.  Remove
the plates and smooth the edges with 400-600 grade wet-dry sandpaper.
This can also be done with plates in place, if attached by tacks.
