Not my intent. It is a great rack, very stable. My only problem is trying
to get it adjusted for my playing position. I tip the harp at a pretty
severe angle.

For the record, for anyone thinking of

Agreed.

Actually, Jon, you do have to adjust it in some fashion when assembling it.
But I know what you mean.

Yes it is a vast improvement. The criticism has all been constructive with
the exception of my one unfortunate speculatory comment for which I
apologize again.

I am still fine tuning the adjustment, yet already i was able to play
harmonica all the way to work this morning and did not hurt myself.

It's getting better all the time. When I am done adjusting it, my guess is
it will be unusable by most players- but perfecto para mi.
