The other experimental method would be to have a harpist playing one harp and support alternative columns next to the harp’s- first seeing if people could hear any difference when a column was added as this should nearly double the effect.
Or use a contact microphone on the soundboard to remove the effect of the soundwaves in the air and see if the sound differences are as prominent.
I have a tendency to play my harp with the column guard still on in rehearsals and have not noticed a change in tone – but maybe I wouldn’t as I am behind the harp.
In my experience it works both ways- there are not that many harpists out there who are capable of playing most orchestral parts and happy to play in unpaid or barely paid amateur or pro/am orchestras.
Yes Carl, the error margin I gave is large- this is because I was estimating in only a minute or two with dodgy data.
I don’t know Chris Waltham personally, but am aware of some of his papers on harps- and referred Carl to some of his data above.
Carl, have a think about how accurate you want the figures.
Most events are annual so this will give you an idea of much of what might happen in the UK next year:

I was not trying to berate you, but get an explanation of what the
problem was and why you found it interesting.
