Tuning Issues:

I have had a hard time tuning the P-37E. Almost there, but the problem is getting clear and consistent readings, plus gapping issues. I have not had comparable difficulties tuning P-37Ds (two of them). My guess is that this has to do with the strip with the holes, which makes the reeds seem less stable. In my opinion, less stable reeds (often thinner reeds) make it easier to bend notes and manipulate sound. I’ll have to see how this plays out.
