A Harp in the house again. JOY!

Last Updated or created 2023-07-18

First I have to replace 4 strings.

Apparently F4 B4 F3 and D1

I’ve replaced strings before so that’s no problem. Starting all over again.

Our Folk Band Harp player wants to due some duets. So lets get playin’

Replaced the 4 strings yesterday, not fully tuned yet.
Gave the string some time to rest.
Looking at the harp this morning. G4 was broken .. d*mn

Replaced also the G4, all done.
Tuning this kind of Harp. (Salvi Lever harp)
You have to put all levers down, and tune them from lowest note to highest.
The A B and E strings have to be tuned flat!
So by using the levers you can play in all kinds of different keys.

TunerCDD#/EbFGG#/AbA#/Bb

Very nice overview of the keys (harp-school.com)
