Re: [Harp-L] How the Turboslide actually works



Joe is absolutely correct injecting "teeny".  I intentionally left it out to preserve my button-punching phalange, which was exhausted due to "her" greatly enhanced and re-priorityized "honey do" list.  The painting, pruning and re-screening is progressing quite well, thank you.  And obviously my indexer has recovered.  Now back to work.

No, he said 'teeny tiny' magnets.      (couldn't resist)

Technically, the main differences with the Seydel version (TH-09) is that the latter employs stainless steel reeds which are intrinsically paramagnetic, whereas the S20 uses non-magnetic brass reeds. We overcome this limitation by attaching teeny tiny magnets to the reeds. (Previously, we had coated them with magnetic material.) And as a result, they can be configured either to bend down, or bend up!
