Re: [Harp-L] custom harps

[Ian Mott <i_mott@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A good book to read all chapters of! (Is your new book out yet Winslow?)

Elk River Harmonicas website has some great youtube videos worth 
watching too, and tools and tool kits, and Rupert Oysler's DVD (which I 
haven't seen but have been told is great).

For the simplest improvements to a stock harp, with a minimal investment in tools, check out the repair chapter in Harmonica For Dummies (Pages 267-284).

I'm thinking of buying a tool kit to customize a few of my older harps. I am
assuming customizing a harmonica will make it better. Since I'm fine with
Lee Oskars and have no experience with custom harps, what do I fix and how
do I know when it is fixed?
