The big drawback for me is that they are pretty leaky out of the box. Even the Rocket Amp without the cover end openings. What is the customizing community's feeling about these harps and how to make them better? I have tried a flat comb and flat sanding the draw reed plate with some improvement. Have not had much success with any customizing tricks other than flat sanding and gapping - more disasters than victories with embossing, reed scooping etc. Anything else to try?
