That is unfortunate indeed. I've been doing this for over 10 years now and every time I talk someone into building spec harp guitars we run into the same problem. I pick a nominal width and
still it excludes many customers. That's why people custom order $10-20k instruments. But I'm finding more and more players out there at every level just accepting and dealing with this issue. In fact, vintage Dyer player Don Alder just got outfitted with our "skinny-neck" Timberline prototype. Me, I'm not that skilled - I stick with 1-7/8" and up (vintage Dyers and pro copies). Down the road I hope to offer a wider neck.
