Subject: Re: Breaking In New Harps

I read somewhere (maybe on this list, maybe from MikeC--not sure) that
breaking in new reeds has something to do with metal fatigue. The
reeds may have been sitting in the same position for a good long time
between manufacture and sale, and suddenly introduced stress can cause
the reed metal to fatigue faster than gradually introduced stress.

- --==O Mic'l [Tip: I've found that breaking in new harmonicas lets
them last much longer.]
