#HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT YEAR MY LYON AND HEALY HARP WAS MADE PROFESSIONAL#
Knowing your harp is being cared for by a professional gives you confidence in your harp playing.
Regular maintenance reduces and controls undesirable noise. Regulation adjusts the intonation so that when you change pedals or levers, the harp stays in tune. When performing professionally one should know the material to be performed, dress to suit the occasion, and appear at the venue at the proper time with an instrument in good working order. Harps are expensive instruments and care should be taken to retain their value and might delay certain types of factory repairs. There are several reasons to have your harp regulated. This is because a pedal harp has over seventy feet of moving parts that change the pitch of the strings. It is similar to tuning a piano, but entails more mechanical work. The three primary purposes of regulation are to see that the pitch control is correct, to eliminate buzzes, and to maintain the overall health of the harp. Regulation is the control of the harp's operation and maintenance of that operation.
