Subject: blow bend gaps, was 'cheap harmonicas'


>Mike wrote

Another smaller less important thing you get from top
customized harps is the ability to smoothly bend down
all the blow bends. For example, you can blow bend
the 10 smoothly and continuously all the way down
through the 2nd-Pos 3rd and flat-3rd. Off the shelf
harps almost always (in my experience) want to "jump"
the bend down, skiping some pitches, making it
difficult if not impossible to get that smooth
continuous bend.

If the 10 blow bend does 'jump', does this indicate too narrow or wide a
gap? I would guess too wide, but I dont spend as much time working on the
top reeds unless they are unplayable,
