dull note

Hi David,
My 2 draw on a harp didn't go flat but it doesn't ring out or respond as nicely as the other notes now. I took it apart, when I flick it it doesn't have the resonance. Can a fracture in the reed cause this? I've blown out reeds before but the note is still in tune it just doesn't vibrate for as long and takes a little bit more pressure to get moving now.

Yes, it sounds like it's dead... if you move the reed up and down it will fall off if it is.
