Hey Richard;
                   Having bought your book 'Jazz Harp' immediately after it was published in '80, I wonder where your 'jazz' recordings are. I love your post-Debussy type stuff, but I've neve heard you blow on a standard. Do you actually do the stuff you talk about in your book? By the way, I got a lot out of the excercises in the back of the book; wore the bugger out in fact....
Happy New Year,
RD in Oz

And his skill as a customizer is plenty %#*! awesome.  I've been playing a Seydel 1847 with country tuning customized by Ben for several weeks now.  Tuning stability, volume, responsiveness are all
%#*! awesome.
