R/e Kong Sheng I bought these directly from the manufacturer: the are a tremendous value: i got five harps shipped for $150 US- tuning was not optimal on a few, so I sent them to Mike Easton/ Fathead harps for fine tuning, and my ordered D harp had key of C reedplstes which they kindly replaced! But they are nicely engineered, tight plates and covers, and beautifully machined metal combs. Mine are holding up nicely.

The resonant chamber inside his mouth is not the proper size or shape for

bending a note but instead of bending it is choking the sound. I suggest
he needs to somehow make the resonant chamber inside his mouth either a bit
bigger or a bit smaller.

Elegantly put. I'm convinced.
I wonder if he would have the same problem playing the same note on a
diatonic? The draw 9 pitch on a C chromatic is a D two octaves and a major
2nd above middle C. That's draw 8 on a C Richter diatonic, blow 7 on a D
diatonic, blow 9 on a G diatonic, draw 9 on an A diatonic.
If he doesn't have a problem playing the note on one of those diatonics,
then maybe he's changing either or both of his embouchure and/or resonant
chamber when he plays the chromatic. In that case, maybe suggesting that he
try playing it the way he'd play it on the diatonic might help. Asking him
to imagine he was playing it on the diatonic might help him get into it
without overthinking it.
Thanks, Richard Hunter

Considering he doesn't use his hands on the harp he's pretty good.

Anyone who has done this, any advice on opening up a Ronette G310 (or 210)?
Chrome bullet. Not sure how to gain access to the insides. Thanks

What do they look like ? What are they made of ?
I have heard of them many years ago, from Mike Easton, but were not as
easy to find back then.
Any web links to see them ?
