Manji reed replacement
Kinya I love your instruction videos well done. I have a set of Maji that I really like and have had them for years. They are very durable with great longevity but are starting to age. My Low F harp has developed a broken 5 blow reed (why is it always the 5 blow). Do you have any suggestions on how to harvest a reed from another Manji reed plate and fix it to the low F. As you know they are not connected via screw or rivet. I am of the opinion it's a set of reed plate replacement and that would be a pity.
Hello John, I'm glad you had an opportunity to view my HARPSMITH Benchcraft Video on YouTube, "1-big thing, LEARN TO REPLACE SPOT WELDED REEDS"
The solution is easy if you have a spare (donor) Suzuki Manji in Eb--the 3 BLOW is the identical "Bb" reed found on your Manji Low F 5 DRAW!
If you do not, contact me at: kinya@harpsmith.com
Your HARPSMITH, Kinya
