Purchased a set of the 99 cent Johnson Blues Kings from Musician's Friend and really enjoy most of them. A few are pretty bad but a few are really good. At any rate, on one of them (a Bb, but that doesn't really matter) I hear a slight buzz--it's barely detectable; doesn't show up on a recording as far as I can tell--on the 2 blow (which, again, shouldn't matter). The harp is otherwise pretty good. My question: What's the buzz? I assume it's because the gapping is poor and the reed is ever-so-slightly larger than the hole. Am I correct?
