On a slightly different related question... I'm considering organizing a workshop in New Haven to get players, techs and player/techs together...i got a box full of harps in need of repair and stuff to build a couple of good mic....any thoughts.....still in the incubatory stages
........it seems like a good idea before cabin fever sets in.

do by kind folks here:
1) don't draw so hard
2) check the gap and maybe emboss if necessary
I did both of these and I quit having trouble. If #1 helps alone, it's
because you are drawing too hard and the long reed it actually hitting
the cover. That was my main problem at the time.
