RE: [Harp-L] Help with Tuning



It's a pain in the rear end and tedious but, unless it's a very minor tuning adjustment, I remove the reed plate in order get to the blow reeds.  I've always assumed that's what others do, too?  I've occasionally tuned a blow reed without removing the plate, sometimes successfully, but I'm always worried about mangling the reed.

Good luck,

John

Our problem:  we just can't get those blow reeds up out of the slot, in order to tune them.  Don't want to bend or break them.  Is there something simple to use?  Somebody mentioned part of a CD case, but I haven't got a clue what that is.
