Excellent question Jimin Munster and I'm not supposed to digress too far but having two harps myself a small claddich a wire strung harp and my larger Ravenna 34 which is sitting right there I have changed strings like on my my claddich I had to I've had a couple of broken strings over the years I got first started playing that part about 35 years ago But, if I were, if I had a harp that I wanted to restore, by the way, I also used to be a gigging D-list musician, so I'm here for you if you want to get rid of the big audio equipment. I still have a lot of it, but I won't digress, but what I would do is I would take my harp to Dusty Strings, which is a local luthier, they make harps and they make everything. They make all kinds of stuff, but they're known for their harps. I would guess they charge probably about a hundred some bucks to replace the strings and of course give it back to you tuned, you know, which you would have to touch up, just like a guitar, piano, or anything else, you have to touch up the tuning as the strings stretch out. I don't know what it would cost to buy the strings. Maybe that's what a set of strings costs, but I used to work at a music store where we strung instruments and stuff and sold sheet music, that kind of a music store. McDonald's Music in Marquette, Michigan. But I don't know. I would inquire. That was the first thing I would do, if I found a music store that would do things like restring harps.
