I have my harp regulated annually by Ed Galchick (harptweak@kc.rr.com)
He travels all over the country and is a real asset to the community.
If your harp is less than one year old, most manufacturers offer
a free regulation the first year; otherwise it is about $250-$275.
Lyon & Healy also has a list of technicians who do regulation
at lyonhealy.com. Hopefully someone will come to your area.
Good luck.

I received the Adjustrite chair last week. It’s only $169–more in my
budget than others with a back. It folds when you pull a certain way
so it can collapse. It adjusts with a 5 ” range –black fabric seat. I found
it very comfortable. I have suggested it to a couple of students who play
longer engagements.Hi Kay,
Thank you! I am now careful to tell my own pupils that the harp
rests ON their right knee, not AROUND it.Anita
My first harp lesson was at age 12. I had a wonderful teacher and
I still remember the joy of playing out of Sam Milligan’s “Fun from
the First.” At the end of the half hour, she said good-bye and
asked if I had any questions. I could not leave for a few moments
because I’d assume that the hole in the sound board were for one’s knees
and I’d gotten stuck!!!
