FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - II
•
Do the magnets affect the timbre (tone) or play-
ability of the harp? To be honest…
possibly. This is one of the reasons that we offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. There
are two reasons. One reason is that the springy-ness of the magnets is non-linear.
Meaning that it depends on the magnitude of the excursion of the reeds. Hence the
pitch might be affected by how hard you play. The second reason is because the
magnets might open or close the resting gaps of the reeds, which might cause them to
seem leaky, or to choke. This is usually easily correctible with a little regapping.
•
Do you offer a version of the TuneMaster™ that is not based on the Seydel Session
Steel, like Lee Oskar, Hohner, Suzuki? Not right now. We rely on the stainless steel reeds,
which are slightly magnetic, unlike every other harp which uses brass, phosphor bronze,
or other alloys. But maybe in the future.
•
Why does it take so long for you to fill my order? Its because each harp is assembled by
hand, to order. Normally, I try to turn around orders within a week; but sometimes if I’m
traveling, or extra busy it might take two weeks. Rarely more than three. Thanks in
advance for your patience.
•
Why is the TuneMaster™ more expensive than the TurboSlide? Good question. Its
because the TuneMaster™ uses twice the number of magnets, which are surprisingly
expensive, and also requires twice the amount of work to assemble and set up.
•
Can I get the TuneMaster™ in any color? Yes, just send us a note in the “special
instructions” box, or via email.
•

full refund. (2x our usual 30 day satisfaction guarantee.
