[Harp-L] What I'd like to see form customizers

["samblancato" <samblancato@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, so I get it that Harp-L isn't affiliated with SPAAH any more.  And I
understand that posting instructional material on this list is too much
work.  But that wasn't really what I was asking for; I'm not interested in
getting harp tweaking tips from customizations guys - they are more than
welcome to their secrets.  What wanted was just a list of their links so I
could survey what is out there, and maybe a more uniform way of describing
what they do to the harps so I could 'shop', as it were.  And the ravings of
some people over the work some these craftsman do is useless to me if their
services are not available.  I know Filesko is up there somewhere on Mout
Olympus doing amazing harps but of what use is it to me when I sure as hell
can't get one? 

As far as Rupert's videos go, I already have them, and a very good tool kit
assembled over the past 6 years.  Some of his stuff is great if you have
hours and hours to do this stuff.  I don't have hours and hours to
repeatedly assemble and disassemble one harp trying to get it to do what I
want.  So I'm interested in buying the harp instead.  Craig Gaylor did a
pretty nice C Marine Band for me.  Maybe I aught to just go back to him - in
fact maybe the way to go about this is to just find a guy and work with this
one guy so he knows what I want. I'd just like to have more options.  I want
somebody who'll work on the Seydel platform as opposed to the Marin Bands. 

Okay, I'll stop whining now.
