In Edinborough there's a harp festival coming up altho it's way too far for me to visit. Pete Grassby tells me that it's not impossible to buy individual strings but on the whole they come in sets. I'll see how well these strings go first before I lash out on more bits of wire.

I now need to find a key, as tuning it with an adjustable spanner isn't the easiest thing in the whold to do! I'm leaning a lot about sounds and notes as i go along, and sending my partner up the wall with... ting, no, ting, no, ting, arrgh!

I shall overcome!
