> Nice post, Rick, but you forgot the most crucial piece of advice of all, which I'm happy to provide now. Simply this. Under no circumstances must you ever try to work on Hohner nailed harps over a shag-pile carpet. Never, ever. Trust me, I've been there.

Whilst not wishing to prolong the whimsy, if indeed whimsy it be, which I doubt severely, I should like to add that the average nailed-harp Hohner owner has this awful, subliminal, inchoate half-wish that, one day fairly soon, his or her ageing harp will finally bite the dust big-time, just simply so that the nails may be harvested for future Hohner harp rescue missions.   Hohner nailed harps don't so much have built-in obsolescence as a built-in death wish.
