Thread: Aeolian harp Q's

This might be of some help:

Tuning Pins

Seems a bit like how violin pegs work

I've got a really old set of plans (Popular mechanics) which uses the same pins as a zither or an Auto harp, and as our mate posted above.
I'll find it in the Morning, and copy it for you if you want.

Now, since I have never made anything vaguely musical it seemed a good idea to try building the Aeolian harps first to get a few basics down.

Something (probably very simple) is eluding me at this time, fixing of strings?

How is it done ?
How is it done so the strings can be tuned? (or don't you tune them at all?)

Apologies if wrong forum and thanks in advance for any help.

Experimental Musical instruments website has good stuff at a fair price as well, Experimental Musical Instruments As for tuning, well it depends on your taste. This bloks has some great stuff on his page The Little Æolian Harp Page

Thanks guys, got a better idea of what they are and how they are used now
