Harp

I’ll get some up soon. It’s actually all nylon, the last four are 250lb and 300lb (1.6mm and 1.8mm) mono leader material ( cheaper than the proper stuff, sounds the same, a little softer feel), last one is 60in long I think, an f2. If you try to it’s not hard to get the last few strings to hit each other but it doesn’t in regular play. I figured wound strings were an expense and headache I didn’t want for this practice harp. I do plan on using them for future ones, hopefully can hit a couple deeper notes.
Newindian:
You may notice that the shell is tiny, 8” across the bottom, when I first cut my staves for my practice harp and lined them up it turned out that the saw’s indicated angle was off by quite a lot, but lucky it worked out that I just had to cut out a couple staves and I could still get a shell (thus I ended up with a practice practice harp)
Newindian:
A little note on scale, I’m 5’11”, the top of the shell sits at my hip when I stand by it and the top of the neck sits around my forehead.
