Hi Kinya,

I'm working on my low harp bending skills.  I'm working my way down the Thunderbirds starting with LowF.  I noticed that I can bend the 1 draw on my LowF Lee Oscar down no problem but when I try it on the LowF Thunderbird I can't even get close.  Is there something I could do to my Thunderbirds or check that will make bending easier?

Thank you for any advice you might have.

Taylor

Hello Taylor Lower the "zero

Hello Taylor

Lower the "zero point" (rivet end gapping/offset) to .001" on both the blow and draw reeds

Lower the blow reed just enough to allow air to pass.

Let us know how it goes ...

Your Harpsmith, Kinya
