I would be delighted if Seydel were to offer their Saxony through their
HarpConfigurator. And maybe they will. Once they have all the reeds they
would need to cover a reasonable range of pitch there is really nothing
to stop them for putting it on the HarpConfigurator.

I would also be delighted if Hohner were to offer their 260 with a plastic
comb and custom tuning. They have the fabulous Michael Timler now. What's
stopping them?
