This practical tool is easy to use and offers 8x magnification (glass lens and metal frame, case included).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrewdriver 8 in 1 Multi Tool: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis extremely compact and practical screwdriver offers the right bit for every screw that can be found on any type of harmonica from all manufacturers (4x different bits for Phillips head screws and 4x different bits for slotted head screws).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReed wrench, support and plinker - stainless steel: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith this tool you can center reeds in the reed slot (left part) and with the tip on the other side (right part) you can support and plink reeds.  “Plinking” of reeds is necessary to adjust the offset and settle a reed in its final position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbossing tool - stainless steel: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith this tool, it is possible to narrow the air slots on the reed plates of a harmonica. This technique - often referred to as “embossing” or “sizing” - improves the overall airtightness of a harmonica and therefore enhances the tone response. Of course, you can also use this tool as a normal key fob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeler gauge - 32 blades: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith the 32 metal \"blades\" of different thicknesses on this measuring tool, you can easily define reed offsets. This is a practical way to reset the reeds so that they are adjusted like before tuning them or after curving. The measurable distances range from 0.04 mm to 0.88 mm (0.0015 inch to 0.035 inch). The metal sheets can also be used to give a reed a support while tuning it - or to adjust the reed curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurving tool - stainless steel: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith this tool, it is possible to apply fine curves to reeds in order to make them closing more airtight. It is also used to straighten out excessive reed curves. The rounded tip allows you to adjust the reed curves without disassembling the reedplates of the instrument. For valving it is helpful to apply tiny amounts glue to the reedplate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve glue gel 20g: \u003c\/strong\u003eExtremely durable, solvent-free glue especially for valving harmonicas (transparent, 20g). You can use a toothpick to apply tiny amounts of this gel-like glue to the reedplate, or you can use the rounded tip of the curving tool for this purpose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning file: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou can easily fine-tune your instruments with this semicircular steel file - but if you want to completely retune your harmonica or use a certain special tuning, we recommend our \u0026gt;electric grinder, which is more effective and careful.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweezers - stainless steel: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith these tweezers, you can effortlessly apply new key stickers on your instruments. They can also be used to adjust new valves on chromatic instruments: a) you can remove adhesive residue with the flat tip end and b) the tweezers help to position the delicate valves exactly along the air slot and to place them precisely on the glue point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision scissors: \u003c\/strong\u003eThese scissors can be used to shorten valves very precisely to change their stiffness (shortening the supporting foil of the reed) or to shorten them if they are a little too long after gluing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeburring file: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou can use this diamond-coated file (semicircular) to deburr any sharp edges on metal parts of your instruments or to create rounded corners on edgy reed plates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool set includes access to a short video in which the individual tools are presented. The video will give you a good idea of how to use the tools and how they work. A comprehensively written instructional pdf with lots of theoretical knowledge about the physics of reeds can be found on the USB stick included with the \u0026gt;Seydel Setup Tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seydel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44062308368495,"sku":"SH901000","price":142.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2992\/8815\/files\/Toolset-completely-packed_final-pack_dd0aeb09-c00f-46d3-8028-082ff39d86a8.jpg?v=1773243392","url":"https:\/\/sol-school-of-music-and-instrument-store-2.myshopify.com\/products\/harmonica-tool-set","provider":"Sol School of Music and Instrument Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
