Pedal harps are heavier though, which is a pain for transport. Sorry if it's hard to read; I didn't have enough space.

Haha, they range from about 7,000 USD for a cheap, Asian made all the way to 50,000+ for those that are gilt and such. That's why I play a lever harp, it only cost 400... haha.

Each pedal correspond to a note (from A to G) and each pedal can have three position. So each note can be flat, natural or sharp. The A pedal works on all the A(s) of the harp, the B pedal works on all B(s) and so on.

[DrAugustusValdes]

candieneh24,

I belive that is how you get a sharp or flat to a certain not... there isn't a B flat string... just a B string... so you need to pedal make a B flat

someone please correct me if I am wrong I play bass and have no idea what I am doing

[canadianeh24]

how do the pedal systems work on this and why are there so many?
