Re: Re: [Harp-L] Gapping/Embossing, am I doing it right?...long.




From: "Tim Moyer" No customizer is more familiar with a player's needs than the
player, but most players never gain the experience working on their
own few harmonicas to equal what a customizer does for their
customer base.

This is the key. And if you've done some tinkering yourself, and discovered what your alterations do to the playing characteristics of your harps, you'll be in a far better position to get the customiser to do what you want because you'll be able to hold an intelligent conversation with him/her. Best of both worlds.


BUT:

[quote] 5) In a dual-reed system (such as found on common diatonic
harmonicas), the lower pitched reed in the chamber requires a larger
gap than the higher pitched reed.  [unquote]

I didn't know this! You learn something every day. Excuse me, I have some work to do...
