[Harp-L] fun with reed replacements



FIRST EFFORTS
Punched rivets out of reeds on LO plates using Custom Craft plexiglas tool.
(Rivets seem to come out of LO easier than from SP20.) Used 0090 bolt/nut
set from MicroMark. Nut driver from Model Motorcars LTD made the job MUCH
easier. Thanks for the advice on that.

RESULTS
For practice, decided to exchange the blow 1 reeds from two old LO plates
key of D, but found reeds not a perfect match. With one, the donor reed sat
too long for the slot. The other sat a bit to the side of the slot. In both
cases, enough to hang the reed.

Are there any known LO dimension changes over time? Reeds appear identical,
so hole-centering is probably the error.

Your experience?

Stay well
Play well
