[Harp-L] gapping for a half-valved diatonic

[Paul Bowering <paul_bowering@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I understand that (on Holes 1-6) you gap the blow reeds comparatively wide 
for better valved bends But, doesn't this make for a double whammy on the draw 
reeds? The valves make the blow reeds louder and more responsive while their 
wide gaps allow more air to escape when Drawing thus making the Draw reeds quiet 
and unresponsive? Is there an imbalance between Blow and Draw plates?
