my G L.O. plays pretty well except for the 3 draw hole. If I try to draw on the hole pre bent it requires alot of air, and to go from no bend to half step bend there is no gradual bend it is all at once, so no chance of getting any kind of speed when playing the low note run. Any advice on what I can do to tweek this? Also any metro Detroit harp mechanics out there?

You probably need to tighten the gap on the 3 blow a little bit.

I had to adjust the blow reed in order to get the draw reed good. Does that make sense? Thank you by the way it is alot better

I only play to rid the neighborhood of stray dogs, eHarp. Now, I just open my door and they run!

I guess I'm always trying to learn more about harp surgery. I've killed a a lot of patients. I can take an out-of-the-box MB and get it playing pretty well (okay, sometimes!), but doing much precision tuning is beyond me at this time...

I'm off to Gaylord. The two guys killed in the plane crash attempting an emergency land on I-75 were my cousins...gees. One was a physician with a big practice in a small town. He will be missed.

Be good.
