Re: [Harp-L] Re TUNing Reeds

Did your friend say why this was a good idea?

I don't know anyone who does this. The heat from the oil would have no beneficial effect, and the oil itself would simply gum things up.

One thing that some folks do while tuning is to keep the reedplates that they're working on in a warming blanket. This keeps condensation from forming on the reeds when you play them and makes it easier to tune accurately without the added weight of moisture.
