it has been a year or more since i bought a D harp. in that time i have flatted a couple of draw 4's. occasionally i can clean up a harp, maybe file a flat reed a bit, and get the harp back for a while, but the fact is i am just not so good at this. that 4 draw is a much used- and maybe abused- reed at least in my case. it may be a case of just filing and gapping or it could require a new reed.

i'm looking to find someone who will just do a replace or retweak on the offending reed. i'm not looking for a customization job, just to get the harps functional again! i have several D harps that would need this- a manji, a sp20, a delta frost, and maybe a few others.
so- name and contact info would be appreciated if any of you can do this work and are willing to, for a small fee of course! harps will be cleaned before i send them.

I'm sure they're quite a few on here that would be able to help you out. Check out MP. Click on his name and pull up his profile for the info. He advertises exactly what you're asking for, reed replacements for $10. He'll open up the coverplates too upon request. Good luck!

I heartily second Swezey8'S comments on MP. "He advertises exactly what you're asking for."
