OK, I won't. Replacement reed plate set for a MR350V is only about $25, 
and you can't buy a good new harp for that price. With a solid aluminum 
comb and a ton of screws, you are guaranteed an easy, tight fit when you 
replace a plate. The harp itself is damn near indestructable.

However, I haven't found it necessary to buy a custom harp in order to 
overbend. I just find it easier to play a valved harp...
