[Harp-L] Help with Tuning

["Mike Rogers" <bullfrog9@xxxxxxx>]

Here's my problem.  I'm blind and can't do work on my harps, but have trained my wife to do simple tuning with file.  Our problem:  we just can't get those blow reeds up out of the slot, in order to tune them.  Don't want to bend or break them.  Is there something simple to use?  Somebody mentioned part of a CD case, but I haven't got a clue what that is.

Thanks for any suggestions.
