tech who works on them, a good resource on how to improve them beyond the usual tightening of the reedplates, or
somewhere that sells reeds that are compatible with them?
Altho any customizer, many of which are on this site, can improve them, I don't understand why you would care to spend good money on an
instrument which you say are not your favorites.
Re Dave's suggestion that you get the reed slot dimensions from Pat Missin's excellent site (patmissin.com), a resource that all harpers should be
aware of. Go to patmissin.com; then on the left side of page, click "Tuning". In the first paragraph you will find a link to enable you to download
"Altered States", just about the best and most complete harp resource known to man. The document that shows the measurements of slots of various
harps is called "slots.txt". Good luck.
