Re: [Harp-L] What happens when bending? FIBER OPTICS

["Dane Paul" <Monsterharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually my thought was to extend the fiber further into the mouth to see 
what is going at different depths.............The test subject would have to 
play  a different hole than the one that the fiber is introdused through 
since it would interfere with the reeds in that hole. The person playing the 
harp must be able to play with the interference of the fiber and possibly 
have a redused gag reflex.....................Anyway, just a thought 
...........Dane Paul
