Restring THIS

[ICTGoober]

How about a harp peghead....
The builder used cheap guitar tuners instead of high quality harp tuning machines.
Lotsa room to tie on nylon strings.... (not)

Yikes! I have a 22 nylon string harp. I can't imagine using anything but good harp tuners on it.

Wow. Not designed for easy restringing, that's for sure.

Sometimes people fail to envision ever having to do maintenance on their design.

A friend once had a nice German car where you couldn't change a headlight bulb without removing the battery and its tray.

Well, not so hard if you have tiny needle nose fingers.

To be fair, a harp isn't something you restring often.

To be fair neither is my bass

Totally not kidding. I did ONE Celtic Harp, and ONLY one - never again. And it was done for a good friend on Christmas Eve (as a gift, of course). I thought I'd never get it done. Strings took forever to stretch, and a couple broke. Drove me crazy.

A local music school teacher brought me her ChromaHarp for a restring, and I told her HELL NO. She took it to every store in town, and no luthiers would touch it.

Was the Celtic Harp a steel string? Those sound amazing.

[ICTGoober]

Some strings were brass.... and they were the ones that broke the most.

I won’t complain about restringing my autoharp again

[Mincer]

Harp is one instrument that could stand some serious re-engineering with the tuners.

[Fender_Punk]

Be sure to listen to Nirvana Unplugged while restringing!

Finally, a use case for locking tuners!

The harps with Floyds come standard with locking tuners.
