Interesting. So, one would set the levers or a certain tuning at the beginning of a piece, as opposed to a pedal steel which allow for changing the pitch of individual strings within a note cluster on the fly for chording?

Most guitarists look at the pedal steel as a frighteningly abstract instrument. I look at those harps and get the same feeling - it looks like it would take a long time to get a handle on how to play it.

(I say this as someone who has played pedal steel or nearly 15 years and am only now cratching the surface of the instrument’s possibilities.)

The harp really isn’t that hard in that sense. The bigger thing is taking the time to practice :( I really should have stuck with it. I think should get a small, say about 22 string, harp and have at it again.
