Mr. Nix,
Thank you so much for your advice! As I grow with my harp, I feel like a beginner at everything outside of playing. It is frustrating, but I am so grateful to you and everyone who helps walk me through my mistakes.
You are correct in noticing that the replacement was a nylon string. It was my only available one at the time, but my new gut string has come in the mail and I have just strung it on!
I was under the assumption that the tuning pin worked like a screw and became further embedded in the neck with every rotation, so I was worried that if I had to keep sharpening the 5B, the pin would protrude too far through the hole. I am happy to know now that that is not the case! And yes, I am tuning it to Bb.
When I was stringing the B on just now, I noticed that the pin was looser than normal in the beginning, likely from my earlier restringing attempts. I did not rotate the pin before replacing the string because I believe if necessary, I can just push the pin in deeper if it becomes a problem. Please let me know if I am incorrect in this assumption!
Thank you again for your help! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
