    I decided to start a photo set at Flickr as my new harp takes shape, and thought folks here might enjoy looking at it.

    She is looking lovely Audrey, simply lovely.

    Careful when setting your zithers. And be cautious in filling the holes with varnish. I do not recommend the power tool method to set the zithers, Muis is far more sure handed then I am!!

    Just check the pin diameter diameter and match it Audrey and you’ll do fine. I replaced all mine with blued pins because I prefer the look. I also bored out all the holes and plugged them with Spruce dowels which I left slightly proud and then drilled for the zithers.

    If you have a pin to spare, and wouldn’t mind, that would be great.

    We put the strings on last night, and I’m starting the tuning process now.

    Not a very flattering picture of my growing-out hair, but you’re all just looking at the harp, right? 😉

    The chair I’m using isn’t ideal, as it’s too high.
