Protecting hardwood floors from harp

[J P]

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

The hardware stores have soft felt rounds that can be attached to the bottom of the harp.

Hello JP,

The only way you will keep a new wood floor looking new is to not live on it. Beauty marks will happen. I know I had new

I have three pedal harps.

…. interesting timing.

…. just commenting on your statement. I just moved from my old home of 30 years…. it had beautiful oak floors that were refinished in 1978. We always had rugs on the floors, including hand-dyed rugs we bought in Morocco. After all those years and incarnations of moving rugs around, we never had any discoloring of the wood, so I wouldn’t worry if I were you (only worry if your wood does not have a finish-sealer)…. just my two cents…

I have had no problem with the harp sliding while playing with the felt on the feet.

I use the felt stick-on pads. We were also told not to put rugs down for at least a year. My kitchen has the same hardwood as my living room, and I worried about water on it, so put down a small rug by the sink and refrig. Yep, under the rugs the floor is paler than the rest of the room now.

Well, I would be more worried about protecting the harp from the floor, than the other way around, and I wouldn’t attempt any kind of modification. You can get a rubber welcome mat to put under the harp.

Hi Denise,

That’s exactly what we were told, so that is why no rugs Christian.

I had the steel feet on my L&H replaced with Salvi plastic wheels and it is much easier to move the harp now.

Check out your local office supply store. I also have the hand scraped oak.

I had a similar concern about my floors, though they aren’t even installed yet.
