The Harponline Workshops
Workshops
Harponline makes the knowledge available, which allows to make the most important tuning and repair work on harmonicas done by yourself.
Harmonica players who practice frequently will ruin many reeds.
We know of only one way to avoid demolishing reeds: That is by never playing them!
- Harmonicas need adjustment and individual tuning. Slidepackages have to be lubricated and windsafers have must be exchanged.
There is no maintenance freee harmonica available.
- We know of no reed material which sooner or later, will not collapse under the stress of 'metal fatigue'.
- Tone building must always take priority. The instrument's limitations and a reed's lifetime must not be the reason why 'metal fatiguing' techniques like bending a note, or using tongue vibrato should not be practiced and enforced.
- If reeds continue to break, then ways must be found to quickly exchange them. Not a "repair" job, but a "changing" process, like replacing a broken string on a guitar. And it should be manageable by EVERY player!.
Here on the harponline workshops you will experience the world of maintaining and repairing your instrument by yourself. After a period of learning and trying you will own instruments that are worth a mint.
This learning and maintaining process is represented by the Harponline Service System.
