It's been about two months now.

I chose to detune because that's the way the harp was originally shipped to
me, along with a note of explanation as to why detuning is important. I
know positively nothing about the physics of the harp and was just trying to
recreate the original shipping conditions as closely as possible. I never
realized there were (at least) two schools of thought here, and welcome the
opportunity to learn more. How about it, folks, what say ye? [Though I hope
I .never. have to move across the country again, I'm getting too old for

Trying to wake up and face yet another day,
