I've done some playing around with my Diatonic harps.
But what are the set ups for a Chromatic?
I've got a CX 12 which has a couple of rattling wind savers and suffers with the odd stuck reed. I can't get used to playing a little gentler!
Are there any sites for Chromatic setting up tutorials?
Cheers John

As a new Chromatic player, I sympathize. The chromatic is a different instrument than the diatonic!

You didn't mention how long you've been working on the chromatic. If you're still really new at it, I'd suggest holding off on any adjustments until you get a little more time at it and get your technique adjusted for chromatic. After you;ve played it for a while and are still having trouble with the reeds, only then would I look into adjusting it.

Have fun. I'm having a blast learning to play chromatic!

Hohner's Service Workshops are excellent.
