Hi Terry, Don't know much, but many years ago (in the days of the SOT), my father tuned his friend's Lyon & Healy gold harp. It had a very low stretch factor of 3. You might try your ptg directory and look for Otto Keyes, he's a harp expert. Good luck, Diane Diane Hofstetter 245-M Mount Hermon Rd.#343 Scotts Valley, CA 95066 ph 831-438-6222 fax 831-430-9741 dianepianotuner@hotmail.com >From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com> >Reply-To: pianotech@ptg.org >To: <pianotech@ptg.org> >Subject: Harp Tuning >Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:37:59 -0400 > >I have a piano client that wants me to tune her harp also.
