Subject: Re: Hohner custom models, modular harp

Rick,

Thank you for the info.

premium grade harps--

What about the concept of replicating the process that the remanufacturers,
like Joe and Richard, by putting more hand machining and attention to the
intrument, and charging more for it that stock harp?

reed weights--

Would there be any concern that the weights you describe could vibrate off
the reed and be inhaled?

Thanks,
