[Harp-L] seeking advice: tools needed to start working on harps

[Peter Beck <kpfbeck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Harp-l Friends,


SWIM (someone who isnât me) wants to start working on his/her harmonicas.
Only played stock previously. Never gapped, tuned, nothinâ. Can use tools,
but owns none. As in, doesnât even have a screwdriver.



What are the essential tools for getting started? Please be granular and
give brand names and model numbers.



Also, letâs say thereâs a glimmer of an idea that it might be nice to
convert from the nails in old Marine Bands to screws. I reckon thatâs a
step up in terms of tooling. Is a drill press required? Etc.



Thanks in advance for all the great advice.


Bright moments,

Peter Beck
