Hey Brendan, have you played around with comb thickness for the stacked harps? Custom Combs might allow you to shrink the height, but I've not tested the sound differences or playability of comb thickness. For lower notes thicker combs seem to be to prefer. At least Seydel started with thicker comb...

Ben Bouwman is not only a very good harp player. He is said to be one of the top customers here around too. His customized Seydels are widely considered to belong to the best stuff you can get. (There are two versions of embossing available by him.) And his prices are modest as well. A good choice f...

Middle C is the C4 depicted on the layout sheet, and is Hole 1 on a regular C-harp and is also the C in the fourth hole (however it may be numbered) on both the Lucky 13 and the Solist Pro. Then I guess the following layout sheet should be correct now? http://thumbs.picr.de/29026625qr.jpg (click to...

... try "super glue" to attach it. Much to my surprise, it actually worked and is still working weeks later. :o ... to my big surprise too ... You have a really Lucky one. :) But I'm quite sure, it fly fly away one time again. But if it's sounding well and is still in tune, you can repeat this oper...

Oo, top of the jokers set - or ass card drawn, by other words. I don't envy you. The usual way is to drill out the screw - with a diameter not exceeding the core diameter of the screw. Then tetap the thread. I have done this many many times - with diameters of M 4, M5, M6, ... up to M16 or so. But I...

I tried to compare the tunig / layout of the Lucky 13 to the Seydel Solist Pro 12 in low octave. Here is what I found out up till now: http://thumbs.picr.de/29010557ft.jpg (click icon for larger display) yellow: core octave (i.e. the only full octave) blue: low chords Standard Richter green: extra l...
