7th 8ve B (which the C string sometimes gets tuned down to) has a 31 Hz frequency so you probably want least that low.
1) Yes it is often right not to place the fingers, but often in those situations instead of placing on the strings you want to place the fingers hovering in the air near the strings.
But the harpmobile is huge… the harp has been column loaded leaving both front seats free and one of the back seats, with the stool and suitcase on the middle back seat (and they could be moved into the back giving room for three passengers + driver at need).
I move a vast number of notes into a different hand from the one they are written for in this piece- some were moves suggested by my teacher but I added to them.
Pedal harps do require a lot more finger strength to play beautifully – this is because the strings are thicker, not because they are gut.
Motion capture on pianists, strange that the BBC has filed it under health.

Thank you Saul, I have just discovered (from Wikipedia of course) four Puccini operas I could not have named.
My harp cart came with a really silly strap (it was second hand about 16 years ago so I am not casting nasturtiums at current production).
I would suggest you ask a few piano movers for a quote – it may prove cheaper to have them (or it) go as a part load in a professional van than a whole smaller van yourself.
