Re: [Harp-L] Light box for reed work.

Replacing reeds on a Suzuki is much easier if you have the HRT-10, here's a
video--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS9zo4KaN20
If I had to guess, I would say the music bed is Brendan Power.
Here's another video, extreme close up!

I don't usually recommend Rakuten or other Japanese vendors, but we at
Suzuki US don't sell the HRT-10--here is their link.

And now the bad news, it is $300. But I swear it's worth it!
