Gap documentation

- The video said a chart for each key...I am assuming that if I have a chart for Crossover in a particular key I could use it as a starting point for point another brand of harmonica but I need create one for that harmonica. I am guessing that the alloys used in manufacturing a reed varies from brand to brand and that could change the gap.
You are correct Mr.Scott. Like Rick Epping taught me, "it's the sum total of all the little things that make a great playing harmonica".
I originally created this chart to document my customer's preferences--sort of like their custom template. I wanted to be able to reproduce it on future new harmonicas that they would purchase from me, and/or bring in for service.
It provides a good starting point. Ultimately, you will "know" and not require the charts.
