: after making some scratches on the reed of hole 6 I found no any improvement on it. Or I have to make some filings? If this doesn't work at all what can I do then?
If you remove enough metal, the pitch will change. A few scratches is usually not enough. You can use the edge of a tiny jewelers file, or a small sharp metal scraper. Lee Oskar makes a harmonica repair tool kit with several useful tools for doing this. Good Luck!
