Harp Tuning

[Avery Todd]

Hi Terry,

I can't help you with the information you want but just a comment. To me,
it seems very unusual for a harpist not to be able to tune her own. All
the ones I've even had any contact with here in Houston and even in West
Texas where I came from, always tuned their own.

Would there maybe be another harpist in your area who could explain the
process and you translate it into a method using the SAT III?

If you completely strike out there, let me know and maybe I can get the
teacher or one of the harpists at the university to give me/you some help
with the process.
