Tuning your harp is best accomplished by using an electronic chromatic tuner, obtainable from your local music store, or with a piano or electronic keyboard. Replacement strings can be purchased via the Internet at Just Strings.com by clicking on the links below:

Phosphor Bronze (string numbers 5 to 18)

Steel Strings (string numbers 1 to 4 & 19 to 22)

note: If a string gauge is not available use the next highest gauge - example for gauge .023 use gauge .024 etc.
