For the last glissando (the double one) you need B flat, E sharp and A sharp – G should be natural, ditto F, C and D.
Hope this helps.So why not make it wireless? Not only would you not need to drill a hole in your harp, you could put it on the music stand, if you are using one (say mounted below the ledge, so that it wouldn’t interfere with page turning).

John,
Not sure about the historical (hysterical?) accuracy of the event you describe, but I do like the sound of the “serving wenches in those bags with a spout”.
Mark Norris makes lever harps and Horngacher make pedal harps but they are both the top of the range makers, so if you have a restricted budget you may find they are out of reach.
A film I didn’t switch off quickly enough had a plot line that involved the estranged and impoverished husband (who I think was the hero) being asked for money for harp lessons for the daughter, who clearly needed them because she was playing from the wrong side – ie sitting with the pillar next to her.
My harp has vicious metal claws under the back feet – I have no idea why – so I use an old fashioned typist’s rubber keyhole shaped mat with the harp on one end and my stool on the other.
