Harp won't bend after cleaning
Sat, 03/30/2019 - 07:53
I took my A Harp apart for cleaning yesterday as it was gummed up. I put the reeds in a weak vinegar solution, rinsed it fully, re-assemled and find I can no longer bend anything. It draws hard now too. I cant see any kind of problem.
Any ideas?

Airtight re-assembly?
Make sure the plates are seated flat on the comb, that all screws are inserted, and that they are figer tight- tight enough to resist funer pressure on the shaft of the screwdriver.

Yup, plates were reversed...problem solved
Problem solved
Gary dont want to offend you as I dont know your level of experience is so I would disassemble and reseat the reed plates. Depending on your harp it is easy to get them the wrong way around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwWeN14TmXs
