Okay, you got me.  My $12 harps are close to $13 plus gas.  

So, my question is how many of you really fix your harps?  I'm not too
interested in those who re-gap for better tone or the like, just those
who fix a flat, sharp or stuck reed.

==================Winslow:

Hey, $12 is $12. 

A stuck reed takes 2 minutes to fix. If that saves me $12, that 
proporates to $360 an hour - or is tht $390 for a $13 harp?.

An out of tune reed might take 15 minutes (probably less). That's 
still at least $48 an hour (or is that $52?).

Worth the trouble, no?
