Hey folks!
As an introduction, and at the risk of being redundant as I have posted the same elsewhere, I am the person making the Sjoberg tuning table here in the US, MasterHarp USA. I have been working directly with Dick for over a year now firing up USA production and selling the US version since February of this year, 2014. I got into this project because as a player with boxes of used and brused harmonicas laying around I myself had draft versions of a tuner on the board so to speak. Then I found Dick's tuner and realized that this guy had it nailed pretty much. An afternoon of watching the Kinya Pollard videos is all it took for me to realize that the Sjoeberg tuner was an incredably enabling tool and exacly what I needed to whip my harps back into shape... and cut that process time and hassle way, way down. Give the opportunity to set up sales manufactiuring in the US I did so, joy!
The BluesHarmonica.com Kinya Pollard videos certainly show good use and potential of the Sjoeberg tuning table. I am very greatful for his contribution to better playing. At some point in the not too distant future I plan to provide video at masterharp.com on precision tuning (think piano, harmonics and chordal/reference reed tuning). And admittedly I have been so absorbed getting the Sjoeberg tuner back into production this last year even linking to Kinyas wonderful videos has not happened, I will get to that soon if the powers that be do desire, earth, wind and fire.
We will post more as time goes by, how to videos, tunings to try and so on but for now just making these guys has got me totally absorbed. I will let you all know when we get to those things. In the mean time for all that have an will in the future buy one, thank you! It is a serious labor of love not a profit making machine believe me so etting some love back makes it all worth it.
Looking forward...
John
