Hi David, I purchased a Low F Thunderbird without realising the series was already 'low'. I in tended to use it with Skeet a Little Taste. Do you think I could still use it ok or is the low draw reeds going to frustrate me? I can 'over' bend the 2 draw on a G harp further than required. How can I use  Ninja to see how far I'm bending the TBird Low F?

Thanks John Mac

That's pretty low John. It's

That's pretty low John. It's very cool for chording, but not really used for any bending. If you can return it, I would.

Harp Ninja has a setting for low harps.

Thanks David, found the settings in Ninja - yes can bend it ok: but in Aussie we often have to wait - and I ordered it especially,, so not sure it they will change it. Yes very cool sound  - love the low vibrations!
