| A string chart is an important tool for a harp owner.... without it you are "handicapped" when you break a string and need re-placement. If you do not have a string chart for your harp, contact the maker and insist on one. If this fails: Send a piece of the broken string together with length and color required to a string retailer. (below) For DENWAR harp owners who have lost their string charts.....you can order a string from the chart below ( for all harps excepting: Denwar Harps prior to 1997 and Classics prior to 31 June 2002...... For string replacements go to one of the retailers below........ |
