Thread Name: More Strings Than Most: how many harps?
Subject: RE: More Strings Than Most: how many harps?
i also harp on my harp. it's a salvi mcfall: 38 strings but the top 1/2 octave is impossible to play, let alone re-string. i still have strings there for visual appeal, but leave them totally limp so they won't break.

question: the other really annoying thing about my harp is that the sharping levers are not quite in the right places... when i flip them up to the key of g, for example, i have to retune all the f's before i can play. is there _any_ way i can fix this? moving the levers is not an option; i would have to drill the screw holes practically right on top of the old ones.
