Tip of the Week 1.9.11

Hey there Harp-Techs,
For those of you who have just completed the sizing (embossing) process on your reed plates with plastic SP20 type combs, be mindful not to over tighten the reed plate screws! This will cause the reed slots to bow microscopically inwards and touch your reeds as it passes through the slot--resulting in that annoying clickety-clack sound when you play (if it plays at all).
