Hi Kinya,

I've found your videos to be extremely useful. Can you do one on gaping and changing reeds sometime?

Gapping and Reed Replacement Video

Hello WardTaylore,

Oh yeah Baby! The next set of online training will be built around the gold standard of all diatonica harmonicas--the Hohner Marine Band.

In this session, I will demonstrate both reed replacement and gapping (offset) techniques. Stay tuned. Our goal is to have filming completed within the next few months.

Your Harpsmith,
Kinya

You bet! For Harp-Techs, gapping (aka offsetting) is probably the most important thing to master--regardless of OB.
