RE: [Harp-L] Holes suddenly hard to draw and blow



I just did this--I am retuning a 270 deluxe to augmented tuning.
Add material to the end of the reed near the rivet and you will raise the
pitch of the reed.
It's not the first choice--that would be removing material from the tip--but
it does work.

JohnnieHarp replied, re gapping: 

Setting the reeds up is a compromise ....snip........ Very subtle profile
differences
and rivet end tuning likely affect this.


What is "rivet end tuning"?  Tia.
