Harp Tuning

[Tom Servinsky]

Terry,
The harpist who performs in our orchestra, pretty good player, tunes her
with a chromatic tuner with no deviations anywhere. Just up the scale she
goes. Every note is color coded.
On a side note, if any out there want to take the plunge and enter an
extremely lucrative field, harp service is where it is at.  Click onto the
Lyon and Healey web site and check out there service schedule. They have a
handful of techs they send all over the world. And get this....when they
come to Florida, its up to the clients to arrange golf outings at all their
openings. They'll stay in S. Florida for 4 or 5 days, work on dozen
harps,play golf, clients take them out to fancy restaurants, then jet-set to
the next site.
Supply and demand allows them to have this luxurious lifestyle. Pretty
inviting.
Tom Servinsky,RPT
