Re: [Harp-L] Cracked Chromatic Comb

[Joe and Cass Leone <leone@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I use a pwc (personal water craft) battery. They weight about 23  
1/4 lbs. But only if necessary. I assumed that the repair person  
would assess this need on an individual basis. AND, I would also  
place the reed plate on several layers of towel (to cushion the  
reeds). That was written farther down the page and I should have  
added it. Sorry bout that.
