New TOOL & METHOD for IMPROVING HARMONICA REED RESPONSE

[@garykuzminski7969]

You rock so freaking much. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your findings/tricks and continuing in pushing our craft forward.

[@jimmock1155]

Taking this principle…I bought low F reed plates. Very leaky on the first four reeds. Using scotch tape down both sides of each reed helped ALOT! (Use the factory straight edge on the tape. CLEAN the plate first. Plink as you go to make sure you have clearance)

[@marttisaarelma]

Thank you Brendan very much. I've been thinking about a solution to the same issue really long time. All kinds of foolish - up to two reed plates overlapping and the reed moving between them. And now you are telling me so simple solution. You saved me a lot of time and tobacco. Thanks again, Maraboy Motherson from Finland, mara.

[@Raglafart101]

Always coming up with something new and really useful. Thanks Brendan yet again.

[@michaelrubinharmonic]

Great idea. This may be nitpicking, but in Stage 1 you say emboss the tip and lower 2/3 of the reed slot. Lower is used here as an adjective but at 6:30 in the morning I read it as a verb. I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to go about lowering a reed slot. Then I realized what you meant. It's probably too late to change the video and I am probably the only person in the world who would misread that, but perhaps change it to emboss the tip and THE lower 2/3 of the reed slot.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Ah... I hadn't thought of that alternate interpretation! Hope you didn't ruin a harp in the process :)

[@nicolasfavre3226]

Thanks to you, Brendan Power, for sharing your precious knowledge about how harmonica works !!! I am playing blues harp for only a year, so I really am a beginner. But I have to say that every tutorial I have seen coming from you tought me usefull and simple ways about improving the harp. I am maybe to much of a rookie yet to try the improvement you describe on this video, but I will totally keep that in mind for a later time when my playing will be better. Thanks again.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

My pleasure Nicolas 👍

[@MrRezillo]

Very helpful! I'm just starting to get into repairing and customizing my harps, so this may be a little advance for me. I can bend notes well, but I always feel like I'm fighting the harp, putting way too much effort into it. I just want my harps to be more free blowing. I should mention that I'm a trumpet player, and when I pick up the harp to play a blues on the gig, the audience loves it (honestly, I'm not THAT good, but don't tell my listeners, LOL). I play mostly Suzuki Manjis, great response, hold up well, but very expensive. I'm thinking of switching over to Lee Oskars, which have a big sound. I've been disappointed with Hohners and Seydels, but that's just me. I'm hoping that if I can master this customizing technique, I won't have to struggle so much to get around the harp. Brendan, you sound fantastic, by the way. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

My pleasure William! I'm always looking for the fastest (but still effective) method to do something 🙂

[@MrP00bah]

Hi Brendan, I tried this on a diatonic that I rarely use first, as it is has always been very unresponsive. It made this harp actually playable! That persuaded me to try it on a few more harps that were a little unresponsive, and it certainly improved them to a great extent. I had already embossed these, and bent the reed down. Despite this there was still a gap at the rivet end. After adding the nail varnish they now feel like good harps! I need to play them more, but initial verdict is that this is a real game changer. Next I’ll try this on a harp that is already responsive and see how much better they get: maybe not much if the gaps are already closed up? although perhaps they’ll get even better. How do you dream these things up? :)

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Glad it's working for you Neil :) The idea was born out of laziness really, trying to save time and effort but still get a good result.

[@nothankyou8365]

Can you tell me exactly what you bought the nails supreme was not available in amazon ?

[@benrosow7997]

Why doesn;t a manufacturer try to machine a slight depression slot the depth of the reed thickness at the point of attachment. That way, the resting position of the reed would be BETWEEN the slot walls rather than on top of it. Now the TOP surface (not the bottom surface) of the resting reed would be flush with the top surface of the reed plate.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

It's a perennial question asked by many before you, including me... I guess the simple answer is that it would add extra cost and hassle to the manufacturing process, when their desire is to streamline it as much as possible.

[@Leonardoparap]

Simple and amazing. Im tempted to try it on my accordion

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Go for it! I've improved the response of cheap Chinese accordion reeds a lot with a mixture of embossing on the lower 2/3 of the reed and this nail varnish seal towards the root.

[@thomaskoch3110]

Excellent hack, thank you! I used Nail Polish and applied it with a tooth pick. I got rid of the squeals when playing overblows 😊

[@BrightBlueJim]

Thank you! I just discovered Rick Epping's "master class" video on free reeds, and now KZbin is sending me everything about harmonicas. I'm tempted to try this on my Suzuki S-32C soprano melodion, on which the upper register (with narrower reeds) is not as crisp as the rest of the instrument. Those narrow reeds have about the same gap with the slot as the wider ones, where they should probably be closer, and I think this might help.

[@stuffnuns]

I was wondering if the nail art pen thing worked for your melodion? It worked on my Seydel Session Steel F. It took all of 10 minutes for each reed plate, and the results were wonderful. Brendan is a genius. Embossing each slot and reshaping, then retuning the reed is way too much unnecessary work, when u can get the same effect in 20 minutes - without stressiing the reed’s metal.

[@BrightBlueJim]

@@stuffnuns Well, I don't think the nail art pens I got from Amazon are the same as what he worked with, and I was unable to find exactly the same type. The paint in the ones I tried were too thin, and didn't work as expected on a test piece of brass, so I didn't try it on the instrument. In truth, the instrument doesn't sound bad as-is, or maybe I've just gotten better at playing it.

[@ProfeLuciano]

You are amazing. Thanks for your generosity. This is really amazing.

[@jasperblues1231]

Wow! I've never been able to get custom harmonicas because I live in a part of the world, where import duties, timezone differences, etc make it too tedious to be able to collaborate with a customizer. And I'm not great with my hands, so I rarely do my own. Sometimes I try, but usually make do with the closest stock factory model harp to what I'm after. This looks like a great solution!

@@BrendanPowerMusic Hey Brendan! I live in the Philippines. Besides timezone, it can be a hassle taking international deliveries - most items are held for customs clearance and tax, etc Originally I'm from Australia - we've met before at Woodford Folk Festival in Australia. And, years ago, we tried a 'Balkan' chromatic/diatonic hybrid together - first iteration was almost there, but not quite what I had in mind. In large part, I think, because I opted for 10 holes, which meant amputating the final two holes of the chromatic (I know - its a horror in the re-telling, but I thought it was a brilliant idea at the time). I've since lost that design, however the other day I was pondering about picking it up again).

[@janthomas5147]

This is so cool. I actually tried an Asiabend and found it rather leaky/unresponsive and this one you play here sounds Way better.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Because of the extra air loss at the slide it really benefits from work to close up the reed/slot tolerances. I'm working with Easttop to improve that area at the factory, but extra hand customising will always be beneficial.

[@stuffnuns]

Nail polish on my harmonica?!? Are you nuts?!? Well, I have an F Seydel Session Steel, with a Blue Moon custom comb, and I have gapped the reeds. I thought Blue Moon’s airtight comb would help, but Session was still a pain in the butt to play - it was simply unresponsive. I put a light under the reed plate, and I saw the space between the slot and reed, when depressing the reed. Hmm… So, before throwing it in my “Use for Parts” drawer, I tried your nail art pen technique - on just the draw reed slots, and it worked! My Session Steel is now, a playable, responsive harp - I’m gobsmacked. I’m gonna do the same with its blow reed plate tomorrow. Thanks, Mr. Power, for your “flipping the script” answer to tedious embossing.

[@maximebourdon3555]

thank you very much. I'll try this method as soon as possible : I have a lot of old harmonicas who ask to play again :-)

[@tonyoneandonly]

you are a genius Brendan ... thanks so much

[@ChristosNikolis]

Genius! :-) Genius. I was thinking about what I could use to make my harmonicas a bit more airtight. This is it! -- I want to experiment, by putting a bit of that between each reedplate and the comb -- at the edges (perimeter) of the reedplate like a rectangle of gluey stuff, when we put it back on the comb. That could perhaps stick them together (but without perma-sticking them!), and isolate the air even more?

[@norfolknwhey4787]

If the comb is flat, and the reedplate is flat, there is no need for further sealing, as long as the screws are not overtorqued. The main leakage happens at the reed slot.

[@jaqledesma]

thank you for sharing this. may I ask. did you also do this on the draw reeds? or on the blow reeds only. thank you

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

It works on both blow and draw reeds. You need to disassemble the harmonica first, of course.

[@Martinarmonica]

As always, thank you very much for the great stuff! What's that shim/shin (couldn't get the actual name) tool you use to break the seal of the nail polish?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Shim. The stuff I and other harp techs use is the thin steel strip you find inside the plastic tags they put on shop items, that trigger an alarm when passing through the door barriers unless it's scanned. Slice the tag apart and there's a small spring steel strip inside, the perfect thickness for harmonica reed slot sizing.

Can you you floss or a string to open the read after the paint drys? Great video I'm Working on some old harps got my pens and I'm ready to go. 😊 is this for the blow reads only

[@edm9704]

This technique cannot be used with chromatic harmonicas because the cell dividers of the comb rest on the locations of the reedplates where some of the nail polish would be. I realized this after I bought the nail polish. Oh! The cosmetic companies are phasing out the pens with the small diameter tubes. Finding some to buy is now difficult in July 2021. The nail polish companies do sell bottles of polish with narrow brushes.

[@suyashkumar1927]

Hi Brendan. I met you at Indore when you visited India (I had a lot of beard and asked you about vibrato). So, recently I had a problem with 9 hole draw on my Bb Wilde tuned harmonica (same as powerbender). Whenever I would bend the reed, the bent note would cause a high frequency shrill noise. I thought it was a result of the draw reed rattling in its slot. So, I used this method but with fevistick( stick glue used for sticking papers, posters etc). It also added weight to the base of the reed, and the reed pitch didnot get altered. As a result, the bend on the 9 hole draw started working perfectly. I was interested in knowing if what I did is the same as what you describe in this video. Because, if it is, then applying this method becomes way easier. The reason for this is that glue sticks are easier to procure than nail art pens. I would like to hear your opinion on this.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Whatever works :)

[@fflach_heulyn]

Hi Brendan, I love absolutely love this ingenious idea. I was just wandering though, it's been a couple of years since you shared your findings. Have there been any new developments in harmonica manufacturing since you came across this solution? With the harmonica being a relatively young instrument I like to think that harmonica manufactures follow your inventions very closely but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part! Thanks again for your never ending energy in continuing to push the boundaries.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Thanks! Sadly no great interest in doing anything different from the harmonica manufacturers that I can see...

​@@BrendanPowerMusic How depressing. Heads in the sand as they say. On a positive note I've had great results in tweaking two old harps with your method, it really helps with jazz and getting those troublesome extra notes.

[@wamplerrl]

Do you do this process on Blow reed and draw reed as well

[@markwells6137]

I will definitely try this out QUESTION - can it be a substitute to embossing altogether. It feels easier and more precise than flattening the plate to narrow the slot, is there a drawback with doing this the full length of reed slot?

[@emblemcc]

What if you put gap tapes on the hole sides and basically do the same? It will heighten the walls and cover the reeds from sides which makes bit harder for the air to escape. It won't touch the reeds and so won't dampen their vibration as like the glue can, plus you do not need to clean the reeds after the glue application.

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Jim Antaki already tried this with his TurboTape product. A nice idea in theory, but getting the tape close enough on all reeds without snagging them was impossible - it looks cool but doesn't actually work. With extreme precision matching between reedplates, reed fixing and tape it could work, but in practice there is always some variation in how the reed lies in the slot. So in the end the only solution is slot-by-slot individual adjustment. Maybe in the future a manufacturer will take it seriously enough to coordinate everything together, that would be great 👍

Really interesting ! I'll try that approach :)

[@HardGrader]

If you similarly try to close the gap further out along the reed - e.g., at the tip - does it alter the pitch?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

For the lower 2/3 of the reed you should do standard embossing. It's not possible to use the nail art pen further down as the reed is flexible; it will slide underneath the tip of the tool and get nail polish on the reed itself, which is not useful or desirable. Anyway embossing the lower 2/3 in the conventional way is easy and effective, so there is no need to do anything different.

[@janthomas5147]

So we call the lower 2/3 from the tip down?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

No

[@janthomas5147]

@@BrendanPowerMusic thank you good sir

[@blunij]

What happens if you accidentally get ink on the reed? Also, in your experience, does this last over time?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

It's so light a bit of overspill will make no difference to the reed's pitch, but anyway it's easy to scrape off. Yes, it lasts - indefinitely as far as I can tell. But it's reversible (by scraping off or using nail polish remover) if you want to start over or switch to the reed bending/reshaping method.

[@maurlaurent]

brilliant as always Brendan , thank you to share this : )))

[@TechTins_Projects]

This makes logical sense. But how come its never been tried before? Ok its four years later how many people have tried this? and has it been successful does the nail art flake off over use and time etc..

[@perfectwafflemedia]

[@johngregory7800]

does it work for chromatics too?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Yes! However, when you break the seal with the shim, you need to be careful not to disturb the valve on the opposite side. The shim must not go all the way through the reedplate, just enough to break the seal at the reed. Go slowly and with care and it will fine.

[@MrP00bah]

Wouldn’t you have to remove the windsavers before applying though? Otherwise the nail varnish could stick to them and cause the two halves to stick together?

[@johnmyers6525]

If this works at the bass of the reed, why can't you continue all along the reed slot and do away with embossing entirely?

[@BrendanPowerMusic]

Because the reed is flexible lower down and with a bigger gap. You can't use the reed as a steady guide for the needle, and the nail polish won't wick into the larger gap. Plus regular embossing is easy enough lower down, so why not use it?

[@cadiscase]

I've covered this already in previous comments. Theoretically it's a nice idea, but in practice I found the flexibility of the reed lower down makes it too difficult to achieve. But why not try? You may succeed where I did not.

Do you still do this to your harps? Have you noticed any of the nail paint come off?

Thanks in advance for your time!!!

Yes, I use it all the time. It's better on new reedplates for sure, but just remove external debris on old plates and it will stick fine. You can use tape on the reedplates to remove debris, or an ultrasonic cleaner. It lasts indefinitely.

The chrom will play, but sound quite leaky. There are some valveless chromatics on the market. However if the slide is very airtight and you do good embossing you can remove the valves. The AsiaBend I play in this video has no valves, and it is made using the parts of a chromatic.
