Hello Harp Techs
HARP TECH Study 4 "reed gapping" is up and running! The focus is on the essential skills--both occasional (L1) and serious (L2)--required to personalize your harmonica to match your playing style.
Don't hesitate to correspond with me on this forum when a technique(s) require clarification.
Your Harpsmith,

Hello Cole
I'm pleased you
Hello Cole
I'm pleased you found the Harp Tech studies useful.
Yes to all your questions! I recommend starting with the recommended settings that I gave you, then "customize" it by decreasing or increasing the individual reed gaps. Once you become satisfied with a particular setting, then assign it to a document specific to that harmonica (brass vs stainless steel ... low vs high tuned).
Your Harpsmith,

Kinya...
I found your Study #4 video very helpful! A lot of ah-ha moments for me! Question about documentation: I think that is a great idea for one... should I expect gapping to vary from key to key? Would my G gap the same as my C harp?
Another question: Reed types, stainless vs brass would gapping be different between the two types?
Thank you for making those powerfully informative vids!
