Hi Mike:
 
What they're talking about is that small 'security tag' which is attached  
to many products, not only CD's. You will find it on DVD's, small  
electronics and the like, as well as on wallets and purses. It's  sticky-backed, 
encased (usually) in white plastic. If you open it up (cut along  the side with 
scissors), it has a small metallic silvery strip inside which  is just the 
right weight and 'bendability' to slide 'neath a reed to allow  tuning, 
gapping, etc. Best of all (for our McGyver-style harmonica fixers), it's  free!

Here's my problem.  I'm blind and can't do work on my harps, but have  
trained my wife to do simple tuning with file.  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.

Thanks for any  suggestions.
