Magnification TIP OF THE WEEK 4.24.13
Hello Harp Techs,
Recently a BH.C member asked me about the Clip on Magnifiers I wear when working on harmonicas. Although I like the clip on type, I am surprised how well my 3x "reading glasses" work for viewing harmonica work up close--very close.
I recommend trying out reading glasses--even though you do not require them for reading--for your harmonica tech work. Reading glasses are inexpensive (< $10) and available from most Drug Stores. They typically offer a range of .5x diopter (low power) all the way up to 3.5x (greater magnification).
You will be surprised how much more rewarding your Harp Tech work will be when you super-size your harmonica.
Your Harpsmith,
Kinya
