ParticipantTacye, Dwyn,
What follows assumes Cowart’s string tension calculator is correct in its calculations, and in the values it assigns for string tensions, for various materials.I ran some calculations on a wound nylon, monofilament nylon core string I broke just this morning (I’m starting to wonder if my technique is too rough, or if I’m just unlucky, but that’s a separate posting).

ParticipantTacye (and everyone else),
I’m a little intrigued by the small pedal harp that Zangerle sells – at 22lbs, and 51 inches, it could practically serve as a harp that blurs the distinction between folk and pedal harps, if it were relatively affordable, and had a pleasing sound.

ParticipantElizabeth,
If you do a google seach on Schimmeyer harps, you find a few entries, like this one:
Saul’s post was pretty funny – but you asked an earnest question which deserves a
response in kind. With any luck, someone on this forum can give you a lot more info.michael-rockowitz
ParticipantKay,
I can affirm that you can learn on an inexpensive harp from Pakistan.

ParticipantHi all,
To my understanding, homeopathy has insufficient support, by way of real evidence.

ParticipantAlice,
I’ve also been more strings than I would have expected break, mostly in the highest register, on my high-tension cross-strung.

ParticipantKay,
Burning the tips is not necessary, the strings will still hold.

ParticipantAs usual, I certainly would defer to those that know better.

ParticipantHannah,
