Hering released new diatonic harps, customized for overs. Among several  
interesting characteristics, they're using magnets near the reeds.
 
Thanks, Kenji.  That link re the Herings was interesting, tho some of  the 
info was a little unclear and confusing for my brain to comprehend.  I  had no 
idea these harps existed. 
  A few years ago back i got a Hering Black  Blues.  Beautiful harp, great 
feel, heavy, thick reedplates, stainless  steel covers, tho it was very 
non-responsive, imho.  I had to  re-gap it, but once customized, I loved it.
  But after a good bit of playing when a reed needed to be replaced, i  found 
out that Herings use different size reeds than my stock of junk Special 20  
reeds, which added to the work necessary to replace it.  Thanks to the  usual 
sources, Harp-L and Rupert Oysler's Harp Repair disk, i got thru it.   So far 
it's lasting.
ron - crossing my fingers for luck
