I got a 23 string wire-string harp from the Mudcat auction a few months ago. It took so long to get it that when it finally arrived I hoped to be able to play it right away. But it was missing two strings and very out of tune.I know nothing about these instruments and a couple of harper friends have looked at it and said many of the strings need replacing. I have been lazy about finding someone local to do this; but I DO know a couple of people locally I could get lessons from...thanks for this thread, it is inspiring me to get this process started.
