2 and 3 draw bend issue on Manji in D
Hi Kinya,
I have 6 harps (including Session steel, 1847, Sp20, manji, and crossover). I can bend all of them fairly easy. However I struggle with the manji 2 and 3 draw bend. If I pull really hard I can get it to bend these holes but it goes from no bend to the bottom of the bend. I can slowly pull down and bring back up the draw bends for these holes on all other harps I own. After attempting to work through this for months I believe the issue is most likely gapping or something else having to do with the harp. I had someone at manji take a look at it and sent it back in the same condition. Any ideas of what I can check?
Hi JCT. It's good to hear from you, and yes--I do have some proven strategies that you can try. Allow me to get to my bench this weekend and I will guide you through the process. Stay tuned...
Your Harpsmith, Kinya
