[Harp-L] Loose screws (on my Seydels, not in my head)

[Richard Hunter]

I recently wrote to this list to mention that I'd had a leaky Seydel
chromatic that turned out to have a lot of loose screws holding the plates
together.  Last night I was getting ready for some overdubs on one of the
tunes from my upcoming record "Blue Future," and my Seydel 1847 D harp
seemed uncharacteristically unresponsive.  I opened it up, and what do you
know: the screws holding those plates down were loose-ish too.  Tightened
them up, and the harp worked brilliantly.

I'm not in the habit of doing screw-tightening maintenance on my harps; I
guess I should be.  How frequently do the harp techs on this list think
that a harp's screws should be tightened up?

Regards, RIchard Hunter
