Hi. I am fine tuning the gapping on my Seydel Solist Pro after changing the tuning to Power Chromatic (like Power Bender except the low octave has the Power Bender arrangement also). I moved the higher notes down a bit (up to 10 semitones) with solder.
The #10 draw is an E which was lowered 5 semitones. When I bend it down to E flat, it snaps to the lower note instead of bending smoothly. And the note is flatter than it should be.
Does anyone have a thought about this ?
Thanks.

I've solved the "which came first - the chicken or the egg?" controversy.
It's the chicken, of course, cause it's hard to imagine God sitting on an egg.

Well if the egg came out of Chuck Norris, God could probably sit on it.

I read a book about him. Rough childhood, abusive alcoholic father. Most people aren't up to the intense inner work it takes to get over that stuff. I hear a lot of pain when he talks and expresses his worldview. I wish him well.
So no one has every heard a reed snap to a lower pitch instead of bending ? Maybe I have invented something. Excuse me while I go patent it.

I have a heck of a time getting the 10 blow bend to work on most harps. I either get nothing, or it snaps down a half step. I don't know what the physics of this is but I expect technique has a lot to do with it.
