BE CAREFUL OR THE HARP!!!
MY boss and mentor cringes to see one come into the shop. Ours is a
moderately small operation. We rebuild about 25 grands a year  and he
has been in business 32 yrs. He has had only 3 harps to crack while in
his care. Two have been Kranic & Bach, the other a subsiderary of them.
Be extra careful with the reseating of the harp and bringing up tension
on new strings.
