Re: [Harp-L] NEW: Suzuki Reed Replacement Kit HRT-10

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Me, I think it's great Suzuki has made it available. Somebody who works on Suzukis all the time could well use it. I know first hand it's not cheap to design or make new stuff. 

For somebody like George, though, it would be worth every penny. I don't do reed replacement work on Suzukis, but even still, I'm lusting over that reamer press.
