Thank you Christy-Lyn for the fantastic video. It makes me very happy to know that in just a couple days there are less buzzes in the world :) What a pleasure to meet you and spend a little time with you. All the best and perhaps one day I can come to you!!
Thank-YOU Liza!! 💕 Yes it’s so exciting to see people in the comments figuring out their buzzes 😍 Thanks for the time together, it was such fun and I hope we can do it again!!
Yes, yes, yes, I have the same question as Anne Crosby-Gaudet! I‘m also interested to know, where I can get this intelligent little tool! Deal Cristy-Lyn, thank you for this instructive video! I regret that I‘m not able to give a double thumb. Welcome back on your channel, it‘s e great joy to hear from you! Thank you so much for sharing all your experences you made in USA. Christiana
It’s so good to hear from you, Christiana! Thanks for the comment ❤️ You can ask your harp maker (or harp shop where you bought the harp) and they’ll be able to tell you which tool to buy. There are a few different ones depending on your harp 😊
This video is super helpful! My middle D string kept buzzing and it was simply the way my leg extenders were installed. Thanks so much for helping me and my mom figure it out!

I'm so glad you mentioned the object in the room resonating. I've had this happen with a frame drum on my wall that caused a huge buzz, but at first I was convinced it was the harp, especially since the drum "liked" only two particular strings' frequencies so it seemed as though those strings were the problem. I was going out of my mind, because the harp was brand new and I couldn't believe it was broken already. Luckily I figured it out before making an angry call to the manufacturer! Sorry about the late reply and thank for you helpful videos.
OMG OMG OMG SUCH a useful video thank you Christy-Lyn for the idea and kudos and thanks to Liza Jensen!!!! I have had the low C buzzing (TWANGING!) for a while and yup - it was hitting the lever ... now, to find a gadget to adjust it! :)
You might not have the kind of guide pins that screw in and out. With such a short video, there are so many different kinds of levers and hardware for your harp... You MAY have to use a hammer and punch to Tap the guide pin into the harp. BUT at least now you do know the why. :)
My f string has been buzzing for as long as I can remember and now it is fixed...the devil is always in the details! Can't wait to see what else I can learn, thanks so much Liza and Christy Lynn.
Thank you so much for this video…I had a buzz which I just couldn’t sort and I was getting very anxious, but after watching this I went back, checked all the string ‘tails’ and sure enough that was the problem. Thank you, I’m a happy harpist once more 😅
Looool I was wondering why suddenly all my A strings were buzzing and it was my septum rings sitting on top of the tin I keep them in 😂. Would never have thought of that.
Great video! I had heard about string tails touching each other - but I didn't think it might be string tails touching the sound board! Another one I've found is if you have a pickup in your harp. Sometimes when my pickup plug slips out of its casing even a bit it makes an awful buzz. Do you know what harp Liza is demonstrating on? It looks like such a nice little size!
Oh yes that’s true!! Happened to me before too 😆 Liza told me the model of the harp but I forgot. Oops! In July it was for sale, might still be available. You could email her?
Hi there! I don’t think anything else will work. Perhaps you could buy one - it shouldn’t be too expensive. Ask your harp maker or harp shop which tool will work for your model of harp. Hope that helps! 💕
Hi! Not all guide pins screw in and out. It will depend on the type of hardware that your harp has. It may be that the guide pins for your harp need to be tapped in with a pinpunch and hammer/mallet. Contact your harp maker to find out. These items can be easily purchased at your hardware store. WARNING: If you hammer the guide pin in too far, you will have to use leverage to pull it back out again. I have a trick for that too...
I had a severe buzz in my harp early on, and I discovered that my tuning stick(? in the shape of a T) was standing up inside my harp and the standing part was vibrating against the wall of the inside of my harp. Now I just try to keep it always laying flat.
Oh that’s strange! It’s not normal to keep your tuning key inside your harp - perhaps that was just for transport? I’ve never heard of that before. I recommend storing your tuning key somewhere else, so there’s no risk of it causing buzzing 😊
@@LearningtheHarp I think the lever may be lose, i will also check if the string is hitting, i had not thought of using that other pin to move it inwords. I watched it all without checking on the harp, will do this weeken, need to record, will tune it first too. Yes, let us put double glasses trending lol
@@lizajensen7872 I still need to go point by point but I have the feelung it is the jack, if i put my hand to damp its wires kind of stop wonder if taping them. I tuned I tried screws and pin one string inwards but remains. Will get to it. Loved the video. Yay double glasses is double nerdie cute :*

i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Ronnie Aarav I dunno I'd suggest flixportal. you can find it on google =) -gannon
@Gannon Graysen thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !!
@Ronnie Aarav You are welcome :D
this happened to my harp today and I thought it's broken. Thank you for this video.
I have a whole tablet of notes from your videos. Weeeee. I think it shall be getting thicker! Thank you!
Haha, that’s great!! 😃
This already helped me discover an antique mirror was the cause!
Ooh that’s a fun cause! Did you destroy it or move it? 😜
Well it’s part of an antique pump organ. I actually am ready to part with it. I want more room for my harp.
Yes, yes, yes, I have the same question as Anne Crosby-Gaudet! I‘m also interested to know, where I can get this intelligent little tool! Deal Cristy-Lyn, thank you for this instructive video!

Yes I had that problem where the strings g was hitting the lever…. Easy fix!

Wonderful!! Well done for figuring it out 😃
WONDERFUL! I am so glad that some simple ideas that are easy and in your control could be useful to you :)
and finally i know what is the other tool i got with my harp for - it's for centering and unbuzzing strings!
It is to help to also keep your levers on pitch when you raise your lever as your harp ages.
@@lizajensen7872 thanks, it's good to know that! one of my levers is raising a bit out of tune, so i might try to fiddle around it :oD
Thank you
Thanks for your video, it helps me alot 😆
Thanks so much! God bless you💕💕

Amazing!! Well done for finding the pesky buzz 😊
Very useful video - thanks so much!

Yes it’s crazy what can make a buzz happen!! 😆

That little harp is a Triplett Shanti with Camac Levers( my favorite levers ). Yes, it is still available!
How do I loosen my lever harps smallest bridge pins?
Not the tuning pins.
The small bridge pins end in a cone shape unlike the others.
How many strings are on this harp?
What else can I use to move the string from the lever? (I don't have the tool shown in this video)

I hope no harps were harmed in the making of this video.
Not permanently at least 😜

Mine is starting to buzz, listening carefully. Pd. I sometimes use a second pair of glasses LOL hahah
Haha, that’s funny! It looks so cute 🤓 Did you figure out what your buzz was from?
