Replacing Pedal Felts, Harp Care, Maintenance, and Repair #18

[@billmckinlay4219]

Thanks. I have a 1915? Wurlitzer and replaced the felts in 1980. It’s 2023 and figured I’d better do them again so watched your video and ordered the felts. Did them today. I remember my teacher saying how much better the harp would sound, and it does. Thank you. Guess I should have done them sooner but KZbin is only 18 years old so had to wait for the right video to come along. Can’t find the paper instructions I used in 1980!!!!

And in 1980 I used needle and thread. The glue gun was easier.

I'm so glad you were able to replace your felts! It does make a difference. Sounds like you have an amazing harp!

Thank you very much for this. Amongst other things, you gave me the confidence that I could tip my harp onto three chairs by myself! So today I replaced the pedal wraps for the first time 😊👍🏽

I'm so glad to hear that you replaced your pedal felts! That is excellent news, and also excellent that you were able to tip your harp yourself.
