Do harps require much maintenance?
• Protection from temperature & humidity extremes and accidental knock-overs. • Occasional dusting with a dry, clean cloth or one slightly damp (no chemicals). • Regulation of levers may be required after 1 + years of playing (that said, I’ve yet to regulate mine!). • Occasional string buzzes may need to be diagnosed and corrected. • Changing of strings every 1 to 4 years depending on use & decay of strings. • One of my harps I do wax as they harpmaker recommends it – other models I specifically do NOT – check with your harpmaker and/or teacher.
