Re: [Harp-L] Meisterklasse



I'm still using the original series that came out in about 1983 or 1984. It has become almost impossible to find plates anymore however.

Ahhhhh...thanx Phil...

so they went from 9 down to 5 Screws.....my mistake.

 You'd think the 5 screws would be pretty tight? but there IS a

Are you using the newer or older MK's?
