 I think I figured it out that if a harp tech was very VERY fast, it 
worked out to $4.77.15 per hour. AND, that hour was 69 minutes long. 
Realistically, about $3-3.25 is all you can figure on. Take it from me, 
it's way way more cost effective to have a harp tech do your work for 
you, unless, of course, you like that sort of thing (beating your face 
against a piece of expanded metal grating, that is).. :)
