New Lee Oskar sharp metal

[meddyliol]

I have just received a new Lee Oskar Major Diatonic in C. The bottom cover plate ends seem to be quite sharp. Is this normal?

Thanks

Well, it doesn’t sound normal to me. I have a lot of LOs and none have the sharpness you describe, though I haven’t bought a new one lately. The end of the plate should be somewhat recessed in the comb – if it’s sticking above the comb it’s not seated correctly.

I agree with trapper.

@meddyliol - The ends of the cover plates should be coutnersunk within the comb?
