Re: [Harp-L] teaching tool - tongue blocking

[Vern <jevern@xxxxxxx>]

I made such a teaching tool.  I drilled four holes in a sheet of 1/8" thick, clear plastic.  Then I heated it and bent it into a shape similar to a CX12.  The student can look in to see the teacher's tongue and vice versa.....with a careful cleaning between.
