Re: [Harp-L] deburring slide

[Music Cal <macaroni9999@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George

Those sanding sticks look like just the ticket!

What about deburring and smoothing the hole on the slider through which one
arm of the spring passes? I am finding that this hole is a source of
problems on some of my slides. How can I get this surface nice and smooth?
