: I have been saving my Special 20's that have flat reeds for a while thinking I could switch reed plates when either a draw or blow side would go bad. What I have noticed now is it's always the 3 or 4 blow that goes flat. I play 90% 2nd position so it's almost all draw playing. Why is it always blow reeds that go? I get quite a few hours on most harps so I'm not complaining about it. Just wondering. I want to thank all you people that make this site a great one. Thanks for any replys. HAPPY HARPIN NEW YEAR TO ALL.
I think when we bend both reeds come into play. I don't know why specific ones go. It must have to do w/ player idiosyncracies. I usually lose 4or 5 draw.
