Hi there!

Sorry to bother you one more time.

 

So, I´ve been tuning my harps, and I have a huge problem:

The variation of the pitch. I guess is from the temperature difference between my mouth and out.

 

In a video you talk about keeping the harps warm, but how do you do it?

 

Thank you so mush.

 

Best regards.

Hello Emanuel, I have found

Hello Emanuel, I have found sucess with a simple generic heating pad (set to low). Place your reed plates on the pad and be mindful not to "cook" your reeds. Most Drug and Department stores stock and sell heating pads.
