 Tim is correct. There are no secrets. We learn this craft through patience
and perseverance, and at times, from fellow technicians.  There is no big
payday either. Any one of us would be glad to make more then minimum wage
when a repair or custom harp is completed.  The benefits can only be added
up through small rewards throughout the years.

Any chance we can make 2005 the "Year of the Harp Tech." :-)
