Fine Tuning a Harmonica Reed

Over time harmonica reeds do go slightly out of tune. Rather than throw the harmonica away and buy a new one, you can adjust the pitch of a reed yourself to get the tuning where you want it to be. With practice, it's not difficult and you don't need a lot of equipment. Also it doesn't take that long so, in my opinion, it is a skill worth learning.

looking for good tuning on draw reeds is easy since no condenastion,haha. octaves, thirds, fifths. but blow reeds.....Andrew Arzajac uses warm air by a hairdryer. and Joe Filisco mentioned: no instrument ever is in perfect tune. love your work❤❤❤❤

Thank you. It probably helps that I’m not an expert at this sort of thing. Those who are, are great but do often go into too much detail. Best wishes, Ricky
