A few strings broke on my harp not too long ago (thanks, Irma! [maybe?]), and I do not enjoy changing strings! So, I thought I’d put together a little roundup of some resources that might be helpful!
This string octave chart with the staff from Sylvia Woods Harp Center could be really helpful!

So are you a string replacing wiz? Or not? Or somewhere in between?
Are there any great resources out there that I missed?
