Canadian postal workers have elected to go on strike, effective November 15th. During this disruption we will be using alternate methods for shipping in Canada but will still be using Canada Post rates at checkout. Just opt for 'Regular' shipping to get your rate for domestic shipping - note that rates have been slightly adjusted to reflect the increased costs. If you currently have a PO box as your shipping address, we will need a street address for courier deliveries. Unfortunately, international orders will be delayed until the postal strike is resolved. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Reedplate Claws and Holder
$39.00
Developed by Andrew Zajac.
The fundamental improvements you can make to a harp are to make each piece fit together perfectly for an airtight seal. This is one of the most straightforward things you can do to make a harp play better. Use these tools to flatten reed plates.
Use the Reed Plate Claws™ on both the blow and draw reed plates. On the blow plate, the reeds get in the way of flat sanding so all you need to do is straighten them using pressure and counter pressure.
The Reed Plate Claws™ are designed to fit safely between the reeds.
The Reed Plate Holder will help you hold the reed plate steady as you straighten it with the Reed Plate Claws. Once you get comfortable with the claws, you may no longer need the Reed Plate Holder.
It has two slots to accommodate many different sizes of reed plates. Use the smallest
slot that fits.
The Reed Plate Holder ships with a sticker on the under side. The adhesive will help hold the plate in place. Once it loses its stickiness, you can peel it off and replace it with any kind of tape you have on hand. If you no longer need the additional help from the adhesive, don’t bother replacing it.
Here , you will find a video on Andrew using the claws to straighten a reedplate.
