Guess I better get a tool set.

I've got nine assorted Hohners, none older than 6 months, and five of the nine have already gone flat on me, mostly on the one and two draws. Only one was bad out of the box, a Hohner Pro.

I imagine I contributed to the flat problems by pulling too hard when trying to learn bends, but still, this is ridiculous! I see a lot of pro's playing hard as hell (Adam), does this happen to them often I wonder?

Anyway, I think I'll order one of those Lee Oscar Harp toolkits and see if I can at least learn to fix these flat reeds.

PS. Two of the four that have stayed true are Bluesharps, the other two are an almost new Crossover and a Blues Bender. My tenth harp is a Suzuki BluesMaster, it seems to be indestructible.
