Och !!!!! ........................................... that sounds painful for
the goats ! Actually it is possible to play wire harp with finger tips ,
instead of with nails. A wire harp built with string spacing wide enough for
fingers, and with slightly lower string tension, can be played very nicely
with finger tips. It helps if the harp has a nice spruce sound board, so that
it sings more easily at a lower tension, and then you can add loveland levers
as well !
