I have been spending some time trying to modify my Lee Oskar that I was having problems with sharp edges on the cover plates (see previous post ‘sharp edges’).
I have done the following to several of my harps, it requires a little bit of time and effort but the results are outstanding.
I purchased some ‘Milliput’ it is a 2 part epoxy-type putty that is foodsafe, it cost me roughly £5.00 from Amazon.
I mixed the putty and pressed into shape whilst the harp was still built together, I let it dry then carefully sanded it down; care is needed not to damage the reeds with the crud that is sanded off, just keep washing it out (easy enough to do).
It is all pretty explanatory in the photos, well worth the effort to modify the harps.
See Ya,
