9. As you turn the key, guide the

string so it wraps around the tuning

post/bent end three times. This will

keep the string from slipping out of

the hole.

Once the string is wrapped three

times, then just turn the key enough

so that the string stays in place.

10. Refer to the enclosed tuning card

to tune up your lap harp!

CHANGING STRINGS

Strings should be replaced when they become dirty, discolored, or

produce a dull sound. Strings should always be changed by an

adult. You can change your strings in these easy steps:

1. Remove the old strings.

2. Take a new string out of the plastic

pouch included with this guide.

Thread the end of the new string

through the hole found on the bridge.

Then thread it through the tuning

post hole.

Note: Please use caution while

handling and tuning your strings as

string ends are sharp. Also, too much

tension can break strings and cause

injury.

3. Leave 2 1/2 inches of slack beyond

the tuning post, and trim the end of

the string with a pair of wirecutters.

4. Measure 1/8 inch from the end

of the string, and bend it at a right

angle with a pair of pliers.

5. Pull the string so that the bent

section at the end is resting flat

against the tuning post.

6. Make sure the bent end is pointing

downward.

7. Locate the tuning key, which is

stored on the side of the harp. You

will need the turn to latch to get the

key out.

8. Pull lightly on the string to create

tension. At the same time, to turn the

tuning post with the tuning key.
