Re: [Harp-L] Effectiveness (?) of Waxing the Rivet End




Greg ased:
Also, is this method particularely effective towards the overblowing techniques?

Lee Oskar's harps squeel when you overblow. For other harps (SP20, Golden Meldies) you don't need to do that.


The remedy is nail polish at the rivet or gummy poster stuff in the middle of the reed (Pascal Veillette's method). The second method may require re-tuning.

I don't use Lee Oskar's so I'm no expert here.

Much Appreciated,
