  I will play the harmonica softly for the first week, to "break in the =
reeds", as they put it. I think this is good advice for this harmonica. =
They seem to play and sound much better after they are broken-in.

  What you are doing is breaking yourself in...getting accustomed to =
playing the harp softly.  Reed metal can fatigue with hard and/or long =
playing, but it cannot get better with soft playing!
