I recently got a great Seiko SAT800 digital tuner, French Harp Tuner device, and the PERFECT portable light box solution.  I talk about them more in the GEAR section of the forum with links if anyone is interested in checking them out.

Super cool Taylor. Better yet

Super cool Taylor.

Better yet (of course) will be the new Richard Sleigh Harp Tech Light Box; specifically:

  1. reference targets to align our "master" eye to the reed slots (we're talking precision here, Babies)
  2. a full clearance slot on the table surface, that will enable the Harp Tech to emboss, then plink, and pivot the reeds--all without having to pull the reed plate off the table (amazing time saver, when talking about processing hundreds of reeds)
  3. stabilizing fence to perfectly align the reed plate across the horizontal plane
  4. small, light weight and portable
  5. drawer for tools

Your Harpsmith, Kinya

Richard sent me photos of the lastest version of his protype light box.

All I can say is that I can't wait to receive mine ... I might have to devote a segment in future Harp Tech Studies ;o)
