  • Page 1 VOYAGEUR HARP Owner’s Manual...
  • Page 2 CONGRATULATIONS YOU OWN A HARP! We believe that making music is one of the worthiest of human endeavors. The harp is special becasue, no matter what your skill level, it sounds lovely. Sit down, pull the instrument to you, pluck a note or a chord, take a deep breath, and let the sound wash over you.
  • Page 3 UNPACKING YOUR HARP ____1. Important - The feet have been removed for shipping. Your harp won’t stand on its own without first installing the feet. Lay the harp on its back and install the feet with the four included screws. The wider part of the foot should point toward the front.
  • Page 4 TUNING YOUR HARP HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TUNE MY HARP Expect your harp to be out of tune when it first arrives. Tune it several times a day until it stabalizes. After about 30-40 tunings over the course of two weeks your harp should be fully acclimated and quite stable.
  • Page 5 CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR HARP TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY If you just remember that your harp is generally comfortable in the same environ- ment you are, you will be fine. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can and will damage your harp. Mostly this means that you don’t want to leave your harp in your car for much more than an hour on a very hot or very cold day.
  • Page 6 REPLACING YOUR STRINGS HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY STRINGS Strings do decay over time but it happens so slowly that you aren’t likely to notice. You don’t ever have to change your strings unless they break. However, installing a new set of strings will freshen up your tone.
