Suzuki Fabulous Tips

Hello Harp Techs
I recently spent a few hours tuning and calibrating a few Suzuki Fabulous harmonicas. I was surprised to find the octaves out of tune, and basically, a less than satisfying playing experience for a premium priced Suzuki harmonica.

After a super tuning session with the Sjoberg Harp Tuner and calibrating the front and "back" gapping of the reeds, the Suzuki Fabulous harmonicas played ... well, fabulous.

If you own Suzuki diatonic harmonicas, including the Manji, Olive,be mindful to set the rivet end of the reed at .002" and the free end as close (.004"~005") to the reed plate as possible (before it chokes).
