DIY

Here is a list of repairs you can attempt by yourself (a little training is required).

• Gapping. You can adjust the offset of your reeds; this is critical if you want to be proficient with the overblowing technique.
• Reed tuning. This technique can restore the original tuning of your harp and let you save a lot of money. You can modify the original harmonica tuning; see, tuning.
• Reed transplant. For the more adventurous of you. The same as above.
• Beeswaxing. Let your wood comb smell honey !! Improve the sealing of your wood comb and your tone accordingly. (P.S. Check the Harp-L archives. keyword: beeswaxing; author: Dave Therault.
