    Hi!

    I am thinking about buying a Thor Swan strung in nylon through a private owner in another state.

    Amy,

    I have a Swan strung with nylon and a L&H 85E Concertino pedal harp strung with gut.

    I don’t know where you live Amy, but there is a Thormahlen Swan with nylon strings for sale in Madison, WI: http://www.sprucetreemusic.com/specials.html

    I also have a Swan and an L&H pedal harp and I do notice quite a bit of difference in tension – playing the pedal harp gives me blisters but playing the Swan doesn’t! So I’d almost say medium, but I am not sure…I also have a Dusty Strings Ravenna and the Swan has greater tension than the Ravenna, but I feel like it is closer to the Ravenna than the L&H.
