Hi Dave,

I just bought my Super Chromonica 270 Deluxe a few months ago. I haven't even played it hard or very much and the 5 blow sharp is not longer working normally. I know the reed can't be blown out because when I make my embouchure super small (a la overblowing on diatonic), it works fine. The tiniest embouchure possible is the only way I'm able to get any sound out of it. Any ideas what might be wrong? I hate to spend $60 on a service charge for a harmonica I didn't buy too long ago if it's something easy to fix.

-Taylor

Of course this HAD to happen

Of course this HAD to happen the same day the George Smith Artist Study came out. hahaha... I need a song called "My 5 Blow Sharp Don't Work Right Blues".
