What are the felt dampers inside my sydel 10 whole harmonica. I didn't realize they were there when I rinsed it with water they obviously got wet. I don't see them in any of the Seidel harmonicas you're working on
Those are called "valves" or "windsavers" and they have dual purpose. They actually help low harps play a little better. They also permit single reed bends which allow the player to play more chromatically - with proper instruction and practice.
Thank you. Especially showing the amount of flex in the reed.
Thank you!!
