Re: [Harp-L] Blu-tac to lower reed pitch- revisited

[Larry Sandy <slyou65@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,

I haven't tried Silver Solder because several years ago a welding friend told me it required very high heat.  According to Wikipedia there are many, many formulas, some of which require less heat.  I'm wondering where would I find the low heat kind and if you have a preference.  I have access to Graingers, Micro Mart etc.


Thanks,

I find silver solder to be quick, and easy to tune. Permanent. I have
better results lowering pitch with solder than thinning the reed at its
base.
