Lilith, if you care to join Mudcat, people can also send you personal messages within Mudcat to discuss this further.I recently had a complete rebuild of my autoharp at a good shop a few hours away, and I know other Mudcatters in the US have good people nearby too or can do the work themselves. If you run out of options in the UK, and want to ship it to the US for repair, we could work this out.
