Re: Hohner - bass spoon problems

Thanks Peer, that is excellent info, I will take a stab at it! I understand exactly what you are describing to do as far as 'bending'. I have some leathery type fabric around here somewhere, I'll try to use that as my 'pad'.

thanks again! :)

And Dana thanks also - I am definately going to get Big Nick's DVD soon, I really like his lessons he has on his website, I'm sure the DVD is fantastic. I have also listened to him a LOT on youtube. :) I like his playing style.

Re: Hohner - bass spoon problems

Much of the Hohner spoon gasket material was 1/16th in cork sheet

Try an auto parts store. Barring that try .060 Inch gasket material

Use contact cement

Re: Hohner - bass spoon problems

FIXED! Found some thin cork at crafts store, already had contact cement. After I had put the cork on I very carefully bent the spoons down - it didn't take much - they are perfectly flat now and work fine. :)

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on this thread! Now comes the hard part - actually incorporating my left hand into the mix. lol.
