Re: [Harp-L] Suzuki Fabulous Videos up on YouTube

Paul,
I'm not sure I know what you mean that the covers "never sit flush with the reedplates". This would be terrible if it happens at the mouthpiece where leaks really matter, but elsewhere, on the sides and back, differences in fit will not affect the ability to provide pressure (or vacuum) to the reeds, though they may slightly affect timbre, as recently discussed for Bandmaster and Marine Band side holes.

>I've been impressed with Suzuki's product; even their cheaper Harpmaster is quite responsive and loud. There is one problem. On all models I've tried the cover plates never sit flush with the reedplates at the corners. I don't know how much air is lost because like I said, the harps seem responsive and airtight. Still, it's an annoyance. Has this been addressed in the new models?
>Also, did the video mention if these models have the phospher reeds? Any word on price, etc?
