Tip of the Week

When setting your reed(s) profile (gapping), be mindful to shape the reed properly, so that the full length of the reed enters the slot evenly--like a hinged door. Keep checking (testing) each time you shape the reed, by viewing the reed from its side view as it enters the reed plate slot. You can use your your plinking tool, or fingernail to accomplish this. This will simulate the action of the reed as if you playing the harmonica.
