Procedure
The best tuning results will be achieved when you tune the reference note at least 3 times always allowing the reference reed to rest a few minutes before the next tuning session. This is CRUCIAL, in order to achieve our goal of tuning all the remaining reeds with no beats. With the reed plate in position: 1) Pull out one of the black slider valves 2) Place the mouthpiece of the suction tube inside the side of your mouth. While using as much stable and convincing diaphragmatic (belly breathing as opposed to chest breathing) suction pressure as possible (it helps to visualize an accordion bellow). This will allow as much airflow as possible to pass over the reed. Lower tuned harmonicas (denoted with the prefix L) are considered heavy weights, due to the weighted reeds. They will not tolerate excessive suction pressure. Too much suction pressure will cause the reed to fluctuate and your chromatic tuner will reveal a faulty reading. For lower tuned harmonicas, leave at least one black slider valve open during the tuning process. Rememberwe ALWAYS strive for tuning our reeds in pairswith our reference tone against the reed we want to tune. When setting up our reference notes in the middle register, one by one, we want at least one black slider to be open. Here the function of the black slider valve is to relieve the suction pressure on reed #1 (both blow and draw reed plates).
