Sjoeberg Harp Tuner
Just got some questions answered from Dick (great service!) and he mentioned he is going to try a foot bellows for the tuner to have more consistency of air flow and less chance of inhaling articles. He has one on order from Amazon at a sale price of $10.44 and says he will keep us posted as to his experience with it. I will pass on anything he sends.
Perhaps Kinya has more information on this?? So far I'm loving the harp tuner but learned the hard way because the Seydel spacings are slightly larger than the Hohner, I have to be a little more careful. Only one 10 blow reed shot so far :-( but thats what I get for rushing. What a cool device the tuner is though!! And with the information and instructions Kinya has provided, it is incredibly useful!!
Thanks to Dick and Kinya for this one!!

We had something in Europe ....
Hi Eddy
Please explain ...
Hi Kinya,
I just wanted to say that it won't be as easy and as cheap to receive our goods in Europe.
That's life!
Best Regards,

Ahh ... I get it. Thanx Eddy
Hello Hank
Good to hear from you.
Yes. I have been corresponding with Dick regarding fashioning an "off the shelf" bellow to the Sjoberg Harp Tuner. Richard Sleigh has successfully retrofitted an accordion bellow (similar to those I saw in Germany) to his Harp Tuner. He loves it.
Sjoberg's mouth tube does a great job of pairing the "human" element with the "mechanical" tuning process, however, I too am looking forward to experimenting with the less organic foot bellow strategy.
