Re: [Harp-L] SP-20 Edges

Paul;
        I keep hearing about 'Turbolids'. I know it's a product, but
what's the attraction? What do they do, apart from colour-coding your
harps.

The sharp edges on many harps is one reason why I use Suzuki
Bluesmasters or ProMasters.  I wish that they made TurboLids for the
Suzuki.  If they did, one model would work for the harpmaster,
folkmaster and BluesMaster, DeltaFrost and maybe the promaster too.

I do have a set of TurboLids on my SP-20 though.  I am curious is the
difference in timbre in what you hear live with your ear or what you
hear from a recording?  Especially with TurboLids, there is a
difference in what you hear while playing and what others hear.
