Im a beginning making progress.  I originally bought a C harp and then got the A harp based on David's guidance.  Ive played the A harp quite a few hours and I find its not as responsive was it was and does not sound great.  I took it apart and cleaned it and it seems a bit better.  

Is it ever just time to get a new one?  I heared about blowing them out...well that's not be for sure, but do you experienced players just replace them every so often?

MS Series Harp

The Blue Midnight is an MS Series harp (modular system) All MS series harps have interchangeable components. You can buy MS series reedplates at Rockin' Ron's for about $30.00. You would have a new harp. Go to the Hohner website to read about the MS system. Hope this helps.
