[Harp-L] re: harmonica devices

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made a device similar to the one you mentioned a few years ago but  
I keep the tools attached.
I got tired of misplacing tools.
It has:
3 sizes of flathead drivers made from feeler stock
2 feeler gages
2 reed lifters. 1 for blow 1 for draw reeds
1 wrench to fit Hohner reeds

I have a separate one for the files since I need to use the files and  
lifters at the same time.

I may make another one for my gig bag.  There is plenty of room to  
add a flashlight on a chain.
