To complement my new DVD, “Harp Care with Steve Moss,” I will begin offering some of the cleaning and maintenance supplies I recommend in the video. First up, the new Moss Harp Service polishing cloth. These premium double-napped cotton flannel cloths are great for dusting and cleaning your harp, or any other musical instrument or wooden surface. Buy one for yourself, or as a gift for that harpist on your holiday list. Visit our store to pick one up. While you’re there, check out the DVD.

A note about those lever harps that do use pedal harp string names: depending on size, part of the first octave may be missing. 34 string harps such as the Lyon & Healy Ogden go up to first octave A. 36 string Troubadours go up to first C. I mentioned earlier that the highest complete octave on a pedal harp is the first, and strings above it are in the zero octave. On some lever harps, the highest complete octave is the second, not the first. More confusion, especially considering that many people own smaller harps when they are new to the harp. For this reason, we’ve also created string charts for common lever harp models, and you can find those here.
