This is why I lean more toward the risk of modifying harps on my own. I
can spend the same two years improving my own skills at reed shaping,
tuning, et al.
Does anyone else share that opinion? Or am I just really being a
cheap-o?

Hey Eric...........You played some very nice stuff at the Jam Camp. All the
Austin boys showed well. I especially liked the way you noticed that tone
seemed to corrolate with the length of the ponytail. Dennis G. had the longest
ponytail and by far the fattest tone. I just trimmed my ponytail up and lost
half my tone! LOL
You can get a great customized harp right there in Texas in a lot less than two
years from Tim Moyer. Go to Workingman's Harp.
I also agree that learning to set-up your harps is a skill worth developing. I
always have shied away from doing it myself, but watching Allen at the Jam Camp
showed me how easy it is to get started. I've got a whole bag of harps with
one flat reed. Good supply to practice on.
Keep playing. Keep practicing and I hope to see you somewhere.
Best Regards to All,
Larry Boy Pratt
