My experience tells me it has started to stretch and will be breaking soon. Not sure the paint has that much effect, (Thanks Karen, I’ll test that in my test jig), but it seems reasonable.. to a degree… I always have used sharpies and just on the every ends and the eyelets.
I am working on her traveling case and I had this piece of camping strap laying around. Well I noted I could fit it on Clarsita and lo and behold, she was always at the same height when she sang. Plus I could walk and strum her….
But it was somewhat tacky and she is such a beautiful lady that I decided to use my old sailor’s skills to do some fancy work and dress her up right. The toggles are “Monkey Fists”
Anne,
Comments on drilling the knot out.
Do not hesitate to engage a craftsman who is experienced with delicate
work, thin woods and tight places. No Harp specialist in your area?My ritual is to avoid practice, jam with Jimmy Beffet and conduct all sorts of experiments with various harp configurations and ideas.
Hi Audrey
When I was playing with nylon I did a lot of weight testing on the knots and also the cinching pattern on the tuning pin.
