Hi Jen,

Nice to see you are still here, and *snap*: I'm getting married next month so harp playing is way down on the list of priorities at present. I don't even have a harper playing for the wedding which I am very sad about, but we are having (this is the plan, anyway) an informal party afterwards with lots of folk musicians so I am hoping that I might get to play at my *own* wedding.

emily,

Muy sharping levers (Robinson brand) have a little screw in the plate which can be loosened and then the lever part can be moved up or down slightly to adjust the position more finely. I don't think all levers have that option but it is worth checking out on yours. Do you have flip levers or blade levers?

PS I wish I could change the title of this thread to make it less harp-specific. My oringinal thought was to provide an empatheitic circle to mutually bemoan the time it takes to tune up with multiple strings - on *any* instrument before being able to start playing.
