Re: [Harp-L] harp repair jon

Tom: I know you said you're experienced with gapping. My only guess  
at this point is the gaps are too low and when you really lean into  
the harp the reed stalls. I think you said it happened during  
performance and now your telling me it's associated with Magic Dick  
songs. During a Magic Dick song I assume your very intense leading to  
the hard blowing. Try raising the gaps a little at a time. Also with  
very close magnification or an extremely soft touch you can detect  
the reed hitting the plate on one side or the other towards the rivet  
when plinked. You might hear some dead sound when plinked at this  
point. Those are my two guesses at this point. Let me know what happens.
