Advanced reed work


The Advanced reed work is a big step up from a stock harmonica. Players will enjoy effortless bends and overbends on hole 4-7 as well as a significant increase in volume.


  • Great tuned
  • Great volume
  • Good reponse in regular blow & draw notes
  • Overblows 4,5,6
  • Overdraw 7
  • Effortless bends (diatonic)

Technical specification


Below you will find some of the technical specifications for the Advanced reed work.

Reed plate (diatonic)

The draw reed plate is flat sanded to ensure better airtightness.

Reed plates

Reed slots are lightly embossed.

Tuning

Chromatic harmonicas are tuned to Equal temperament and Diatonic harmonicas are tuned to my own type of compromised tuning, see chart below.

Reeds

Reed curvatures are adjusted and corrected.

Tuning


All my custom diatonic harmonicas are Richter tuned to 442hz with a compromised temperament. However, I can accommodate your preference for an alternate temperament or tuning. Most players are happy with my compromised temperament
