    Hello

    Has anyone successfully repaired any chips in the wood of their harp, my daughter has a few on her Elysian 40 string and I want to repair it myself rather than going to the expense of a profesional repair

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Thanks Emily’s mum!

    There is a kind of waxy pencil-shaped item, brand name Miniwax, sold at Home Depot and other large stores. Antique dealers often use these to hide blemishes on fine furniture. They come in all wood tone shades.

    Hi, thanks,

    I have just purchased a konig wax stick set with a heat melting device, hopefully that will repair the chips, will do a test first though
