I've made about 15 powerbenders from Richters using adhesive putty. It holds up very well even left in a hot vehicle. Experimenting I can easily lower the very short reeds an octave. The longest reeds can only hold enough blu tack to lower about 4 semi tones.
Filing the upper reeds to raise 3 semitones is very tricky. I ruined many reeds that way and found out it is much easier to swap as Jim says. But for powerbender I now leave the two upper reeds Richter because the blow bends are much more powerful and easier to control than upper reed draw bends.
