What do you mean strong enought? with the restoring it has been obviosly checked and fixed where it seemd more weak, now look strong!
What do you mean to calculate octave light? isn’t it possible to have a list of 42 diameters and I just order the gut strings?What do you think of this harp and about the date ? is it a rare piece?
Thanks
DanieleHi,
thanks for your reply!
I have the register of Sebastian Erard London, so I read that patent 705 (mine) is around 1802.
It has ram’s head around it.
Regarding the gut strings, i found in Italy a company that makes them manually, but they want from me the diameter for each n°42 string!!! the problem is that even if I have some details sent by the other supplier, I dont undestand the meaning of octave or letters.The only missing parts of this harp are string and tunign pegs.
For pegs I mean the piece that you use to give tension! the are only the holes in the wood, also they are conic holes!Thanks

I wrote an email to RCM but unfortunately they said thay dont have nothing about Erard Harps!! where could I find somethig as ledgers or documents of the london shop?
thanksThanks! is there any contact or e-mail address you can give me? Also what do you think about the year, now that I’ve told you it’s made in London?
I mean, do you find many of 1802 in circulation?
thanksIt’s London, Marlborough Street!
Reading the paris ledgers I saw that from 690 to 741 are double action harps, but obviously beeing this harp made in london it has different registers.
Is there any documents on the web of the london ledgers?
