This in response to Salmons previous post.
Any harp that is hard to play can be remedied by gapping the reeds. LO harps
of past seemed to always come with the reeds gapped far better than most.
Maybe they're slipping in that department these days?
I've never had the oppurtunity to play a Joe Filisko harp but I'll take T
Bones (as well as others ) word for it that they're good. I'd imagine this
is in large part due to the reed gapping he does on them? Its not hard to do
and I recommend anybody who plays harp learn how to adjust them their
selves.
I've seen some Hohners that were nearly unplayable before a reed gap but
after that was taken care of they played nice and easy.
