“I
learned how to regulate in 1987 through a harp technician
course at Indiana University. I spent one year as the graduate
assistant in charge of maintaining IU’s twelve used
and abused(!) harps. I have regulated my own harps for
15 years and did a little commercial regulating in the
late 80’s and early 90’s. I have not had any
official training at Lyon & Healy and therefore I can
only do basic regulating and maintenance.
My
basic philosophy when regulating harps is that I do not
do anything I cannot
undo. I do not adjust back-plate screws or bend pins.
I can fix disc buzzes and some other types of buzzes, but
if it is a “sizzle” way up in the action,
I may or may not find it.”
The
Soft Sell
“I
only regulate as a service to the Calgary harp community
because the former technician that serviced the
area moved away.
Please
be sure to read my experience (above) carefully as it may
be different than what you are accustomed
to. References upon request.
You
will be asked to sign a Waiver before I can work on your
harp.”
