3 draw bends too sensitive.
Hi there,
On my suzuki harpmaster, happens in the last days that the 3 draw is so sensitive,
bend is became difficult becausecause It goes very easily from half step to one and half, making
almost impossible to bend only one step. Is there any setup action i can do for that ?
Thanks
Luciano.
Hi Luciano. Congratulations on resolving the problem!
On this site, bluesharmonica.com, much has been written and filmed regarding the dynamics of how our crazy little diatonic harmonica actually works.
The important thing to understand is that for every "bendable" note(s) available per hole, BOTH REEDS (blow/draw) will influence the "playability" of your instrument. It will take some patience to learn which settings are required for your playing style (heavy vs.light). This is why, when possible, I have my customers come to the Harpsmith Shop for the final adjustments (if necessary).
Your Harpsmith, Kinya
Greetings Luciano. It is good to hear from you.
My recommendations:
INCREASE THE BLOW REED GAP
DECREASE THE BLOW REED GAP
If these efforts do not improve the situation, let me know and I will provide you with more tips ;o)
