Trent ,

Harmonicas are gonna break, they are just like skateboards and kittens. If
you handle them roughly something is bound to break off. Look if you are
going through harps a bit quick, I would learn to breathe more gently when
you play. Look take it easy, also if you have gone through 3 harps in about
3
months that is about right. So don't sweat it. Ironman tends to like Lee
Oskars, they are a little bit more expensive but I heard they last a bit
longer. Try'em out.

Hello

I have tried to post this several times but each time it never

works.  My questions is whether I can retune a flattened 5
draw.   I

have been playing a song that has a bent 5d in it and have managed

to 'break' two hohner sp20's in the last three months.  Can I fix it,


am I doing something wrong, should I try a different harp?



Thanks

Trent
