Hello Heather. Canada girl here :) My husband built my harp from a kit. There are no levers. Therefore, the music that I do have is all in C major. I like the sound of the E flat major scale like yours. How do I take my C major music and change it so that I can play it in E flat major? Is this easily doable? Do you have a suggestion about what I can do instead of retuning it to Cmajor. Thanking you in advance. a-m

Hey! Without levers, C major is the best tuning. I tune to E flat major as it the best for switching info different keys using my levers. I did a live on this a while ago, check it out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXqkZKSLapp3m6c
