That is my understanding from person who sold me the harp and fixed it. Check, also, that the string is wound in the correct direction. I hope you figure it out.
The harp that I looked at and bought was strung incorrectly. It was not in the correct groove. It was fixed when restrung. It could not happen because they are new strings. Check your stringing.
The person selling the harp says that the string had slipped out of the groove it is to sit in when she moved it. She has fixed and sent pictures of it engaged and unengaged with a tuner. It appears to be working correctly now. I will still verify and check. Thanks for your help. Debbie
Thanks for all these ideas. I agree, it is physics, which is why I asked if it could be upside down. I think I will try to get a picture and/or have my harp teacher look at it. Perhaps it was strung wrong.
Yes, it was tuned with all the Es and Bs flat. I checked all the strings and they were close to being in tune. The fifth line F and the next note, G were close to being in tune. Then I engaged all the levers to check their tuning. When I did that, the F and the G string both sounded as the same note (f sharp / g flat). I checked it several times. When I engaged the lever for the g, it flattened the note. I know it doesn’t make sense, that is why I am asking. I am a beginning harpist, but I am not a beginning musician. I am a music teacher and a church organist/ pianist. Could the lever be upside-down?
