Okay this does looks really safe when done correctly. I have a 26 string lever harp that has a stand and detachable legs. But I have wondered if there was a better way to lay it on its side when changing the leg sizes, so I'll try to use some of your tips! Thanks so much!🕊

You're welcome! It will definitely be lighter with a 26 string lever harp.

Just saw a weather report an the east coast is going to have power outages an cold temps. Do you anything to protect your harp or to keep it from drying out. I do not know what they are called but they put some type of humidifier in the violin, cello.

Yes, I do have a humidifier for my room that I use. Many string instruments have humidifiers specific to their instruments.

Haha, I read "how to play the harp on the side" and was actually curious if I really missed a special playing technique 😂

[@gelguitarist]

That's so funny - that would definitely fall under advanced playing techniques and maneuvers!

[@tmw4127]

You are not the only one 🤣 in fact I saw some harpists did that before

[@cara-thebeginnerharpist6974]

@@tmw4127 Do you have a link to a video eventually, where I could see that? That really sounds so interesting. As a "harpist" I am curious now. 😂

[@JacquelinePollauf]

I have no idea how to play a harp on its side! Maybe next year...

@@cara-thebeginnerharpist6974 I saw Alexander Boldachev did that once. He uploaded on his instagram😉
