Thanks to Rupert for the embossing info which mentioned tools for use on
chrome plated reedplates.
I wonder why the word "plated" was used since the tools mentioned seem to
be the same tools and methods one would use for non-plated reedplates.
Comments?
Also......I am putting together a list of stuff i need to order from
Micromark for my harp tweaking efforts I plan to order the sanding wands #81471
and a magnifying light #80762 for my aging eyes. I will also add the sanding
paper #60471 that Rupert uses to free over-embossed reed slots.
Before i place my order, i am open to suggestions of any other indispensable
tools that i need from Micromark. I have a LO tuning kit and after all
these years, i finally ordered a reed replacement tool from Bill Rommel, but I
have yet to use it. I've been on the road, so to speak. I also have a small
hammer.
Any suggestions how to obtain such a thin shim as .001, other than buying
another complete set of feeler gauges? I already have 3 sets and none
contain have such a critter. tia.
