Small light box ?
Hi
Dear Kinya I need a small light box sitting on my desk for reed adjustment.
Can you kindly send me a link to a practical affordable light box in Amazon? :)
Thanks a bunch
thanks
At $10.29 this Darice Light Table seems like a good value:

Thanks a lot .
It should be good. Thanks again
Great. Let us know how things worked out for you.
Your Harpsmith, Kinya
I am not sure if I like it , the reason is that there is a black dot dot dot on the light box
Apparently it is there to make sure your eyes do not get hurt however I am not sure
if it is better just to have the pure light

Try this out on your phone or tablet. Zoom it till it's the right size. Some assembly required. Batteries not included
Good luck......Mike
Hey Mike, just don't cut a "reed pass through" slot on your smart phone screen ;o)

I used a cigar box i got for free and made a cutout slightly lager than a reed with a dremel tool. Put one of those cheap lights you can get at home depot (the kind with a couple of LED's and you press to turn on) inside the box. Lay a white sheet of paper over the light. It works just fine and no blinding light!

Hi Kinya,
Im not sure how your using the slot idea pictured here.
Can you explain it or point me to the correct web site lesson?
I also just recieved a light box so let the reed work expertise grow !!!!

Hi John, The image that Mike shared was to provide our members with a template:
- that you can print out and lay ontop of your light box,
- or simply open up on your smart phone and lay your reed plate over the white portion of the template (pinch the smart phone screen to size the white strip).

An important feature of a harmonica light box is the slot, enabling the Harp Tech to plink the reeds as they emboss (aka size, burnish) the reed plate slot, or pivot the reed on it's rivet axis. This saves a ton of time, as you can check to make certain the reed is not "catching" as it is passing in/out the reed slot.
