Well, I made the mistake of using the term "harp space" like lots and lots of other folks! That term doesn't go well with some people - so now I just say the 'throat space' or something like that!@ If you google "harp space" you will get "throat space" on sewing machines as one of the examples for that term! Oh well!

I think I'll use "arch". After all it is an arch of sorts. It's not really a throat although you might consider the needle as a tooth. I suppose if the machine makes a nice sound you could call it musical so harp might be sorta acceptable.
Naw, I'll use "arch".
