A harp topic in a guitar forum? That' probably a question for the forum owner. There are a few really good harp mailing lists around

It's probably best to contact the forum owner and see if it fits in their vision for the group]]> Guitar Players Discussion Squidward https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/paged/2/#post-254086 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/paged/2/#post-254082 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 03:50:35 +0000 :(
2.Is it comparatively difficult to blow single notes on the lee osker diatonic C harp than the other harps?

Hi
What do you mean by "bad"? Does the reed sound off pitch? Or does it not sound at all? Which reed is giving you grief?
Yes you can replace a single reed if you want but it's not a job for a beginner,and you need a donor reed and some experience tuning harmonicas. If you want to go down that road pm me and I'll send you a couple of url's to check out.
The "bad' reed may not be bad at all, take off the covers and have a close look at the reedplates, there may be a piece of fluff or a moustache hair stuck between the reed and the reedplate, which will stop the reed from sounding. If there is something stuck carefully remove it with a small needle or whatever you have handy, but be carefull to not bend the reed or twist it off centre or you'll have to regap and realign the reed.
Lee Oskars are no more difficult than any other type of harp,probably easier than some. If you are new to playing harp it could be a technique problem, the first three holes can be a challenge to most people and it takes a lot of practice to be able to bend with enough control to make playing bends an option when playing a tune.
As others have said you can buy new reedplates for Lee Oskars,if you are sure you have a broken reed that would be the easiest solution
If you have cracked a reed it will drop by a semitone in pitch so you can check if this has happened with a chromatic tuner, but if you have some experience playing harp you will hear it straight away. You can retune a cracked reed backup to pitch but it will only last a short time before it goes belly up.
I hope this helps]]> Guitar Players Discussion Squidward https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/paged/2/#post-254082 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/paged/2/#post-253101 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 13:19:09 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion reynold https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/paged/2/#post-253101 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/#post-252438 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 19:53:51 +0000 Thanks lars but aaa...cud u plese explain a bit about this "they say any song can be transposed" didnt quite get it Just a stupid late night beer influenced paraphrase from me - a twist on a Dylan quote from I shall be released "They say everything can be replaced"

But yeah - most of the songs I mentioned are actually recorded in a key that goes with C harp (am, C or G) - but you can obviously take any song and transpose it to one of these keys - but I reckon you know that already. Since I saw in the other thread that you have picked up(!) "Don't think twice" - that is something of a challenge - to get the fingerpicking fluent and add a harmonica. I usually play it in E with capo on the 4th fret and with a A harmonica. :)

Girl from the north country sounds good too! at least when Dylan plays it...]]> Guitar Players Discussion lars https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/#post-252438 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/lee-osker/#post-252348 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:38:12 +0000
