Re: [Harp-L] Re: What Does the TurboLid Fit?

For what it's worth I like the Turbolids to check tuning work. They're easy on & off. I don't like how they feel for regualr playing though (theyt feel too "fat" for my taste) but after tweaking a reed or whatever on an SP20 they are a lot easier to use than screwing on the metal lids and screwing them down.
