[Harp-L] Re: chromatic screws go in up or down - use of flat washers?

[BluzeHarp@xxxxxxx]

Has anyone experimented with using flat washers between the  nut and reed 
plate and/or the screw head and reed plate?  This  approach would distribute 
the clamping force across a larger  section of the reed plate, and maybe 
result in consistently flatter  contact with the comb?  How about adding a lock 
washer between the  nut and flat washer to keep everything in place?
What would the drawbacks be aside from the additional assembly  hassle?  Is 
it another one of those things that could provide a  small incremental 
improvement... or am I barking up the wrong tree?
