Guys
Sooner or later I need to customize harmonica , do tuning etc and I need a filling gauge
some thing like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T86ADZ4/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?psc=1
but if you look at the bottom of the page metric sizes are
metric sizes: .04, .05, .06, .08, .10, .13, .15, .18, .20, .23, .25, .28, .30, .33, .35, .38, .40, .43, .45, .48, .50, .53, .55, .58, .60, .63, .65, .70, .75, .80, .88mm
As you see there is no 09 , 11, 12 16 17
Does any body know what filling gauge I need
Any link to buy one?
Thanks

Funnily enough although I live in a ‘metric’ country I have an imperial set of feelers
Frankie, I don’t have a link. That set looks ok.
I use feelers quite rarely even though I’m forever setting up harps and replacing reeds. I do it by eye and test by playing, every time.
I have seen Kinya Pollard recommend recording the setup gaps for each key and type of harp.
I’ve never tried it. Maybe it would be quicker and better.
