Re: [Harp-L] Golden Melody mod

["Jim Greenwald" <staggerin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought about doing the same thing, since I've got a bunch GMs gathering 
dust - hate that recess! Unfortunately it looks like there's nowhere for the 
reed plate to go (backwards). On mine at least, they're kind of locked in 
place. I think I came to the conclusion that the way to achieve the goal 
would be to remove metal from the reed plate. I currently don't have the 
tools to do this - but maybe someday.
Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim
