    I didn’t even think about the saliva entering my harmonica. I tapped it after times like you did and then it sounded brand new! Thanks so much 😂

    Yuss! Fixed my harmonica, I was an idiot and poked around in the holes to scrap off grime, and bent a Reed. It sounded horrible when pulling on no.4...opened up, it's bent. Thank u sir!

    100% thought I had a bad #2 intake Reed, I practiced for a minute after watching and it sure did sort itself out. Thanks man!

    Great My A and G were blocked and washing didn't solve. You gave me confidence to take apart and behold there was a little bit of something underneath the reed....Thanks

    Thanks for the advice, turns out it's just my lack of technique haha XD I was so frustrated, thinking I have to buy a new one

    2 hole sounding like that - and nothing wrong with my harmonica. That's both the news I was looking for and the news I was not looking for!!!

    My one hole draw sounds like the reed is vibrating or touching another metal piece when played hard. It makes a scary sound that makes me jump back from my harp everytime i play it. I'm terrified I'm going to inhale a reed

    My 4 blow seems to be tuned to a G, 4 draw sounds like a D. Used a piano to ensure my suspension. Any ideas? I’m quite new at this. Thanks for your awesome videos!

    How do you break a harmonica? The reed isn't wood.

    My #3 draw sounds weird

    I've got a weird problem. Just bought a cheap harmonica and it's supposed to be in C but I noticed that i can only blow in hole 1 draw from hole 2 , blow in 3 , draw from 4 etc... When watching youtube video's I notice you should be able to draw and blow through each hole right? Also the note C starts at hole 1 ( blow) and comes back in by drawing in hole 8. Am I missing something?
