Can I tune the 4 draw up. I don't know what I did to make it flat.
Thanks.

It's not uncommon. The note can be tuned back up, but if it's fatigued, it will break soon.

I just bought the harp. Honer Blues Bender. I don't think I like it as much as a Marine Band. Not sure yet.
Do I file the 4 draw's reed? Is that how you tune it up?

How long have you been playing? It may be your technique.

File the tip end to tune it higher.
File the rivet end to tune it lower.

Grillslinger, I am sure its not my technique. I thought it may have been because it was first thing in the morning. I was groggy. I had to actually grab the guitar and see for myself. When I was hitting the 1 4 draw it was off.
Thanks tookatooka. I will do that now.

Can you get replacement reedplates for that type of harp?

I am not sure. Probably could, but I am going to just set it on the shelf. I might try to fix it one day. I don't really like how thick the comb is.
I just ordered a Suzuki d harp from http://www.harmonicasandstuff.com
I remember Jason Ricci saying something about them in one of his videos.
Thanks for the quick responses.
