Tuning to key signatures and theory help wanted

[glennis-rogerson]

can anyone help me? I have bought a Celtic Harp it is 6 feet tall. Now it is in the key of Eflat. I want to know if there is a book with exercises for rudiments of music that teaches what levers to change when wanting say C or G etc. I am desperate. Anyone help me. Am in the UK but books are international though it must be in English. I am 71 and want to play for fun but I do take my music seriously. can play clarinet, piano etc so know my notes.

Dear Mr. Rogerson,

I don’t know much about theory books, but I can tell you what lever to move for what keys:

Eb Major/c minor – all levers down
Bb/g – raise ‘a’ levers
F/d – raise a + e levers
C/a – raise a, e, and b levers
G/e – raise a, e, b, and f levers
D/b – raise a, e, b, f, and c levers
A/f# – raise a, e, b, f, c, and g levers
E/c# – raise all levers

(This is for a harp tuned in Eb.)

I hope this is helpful to you!
