[Harp-L] Seydel low F

[Ron Burton]

Hello friends and family of harmonica wizards,
I have just ruined (again) another diatonic that I use frequently, a Seydel low F.  The first hole draw reed went flat.  I tried to tune it but should have realized, having a BOX full of bones already, that the gentle touch needed is just not my forte.  Any suggestions as to whether to send it to a pro or just buy another.  Being on SS, like many of us, I have to watch the expenditures...nevertheless, I need this harp...or any low F for that matter.

Thanks in advance
