Hi,

  I was considering putting together a simple kit for my harps.  Nothing to fancey..would

just like to remove the cover plates and take out /  remove any 'gunk' , ect.  may be tune some ?  Any recommendations

on any of the kits that are out there already ?  Or if you recommend getting indivual tools...which tools

( size/brand/type) would you recommend ? Supplies to have on hand ?

               Thank you for your time

                           Steve

Currently I use the  Hohner Special 20's.(..I may grow into other models ? ) is there any basic kits or tools that you

recommend that are needed for this particular type of harp  (in particular the type of screw driver that would be best to remove the cover plate. and wrench to remove the nut that holds the screw in place..?

                              Thank you for your time
