Wow, Mae, what a saga! As a double-strung specialist (but definitely *not* a builder), I’m so glad that I found this discussion after returning to Harp Column. Once you have your wonderful harp completed, I can’t wait to see & hear it here.
A quick promotional note: my beginning method for double-strung harp, “Make Mine a Double,” is available as a PDF (with optional MP3 tracks); no overseas shipping worries! You can learn more about it, including the table of contents, at store.cynthiashelhart.com And please let me know if I can help with anything in the Double Department!
