Sets

Pack the hour

Occasion first. Instrument second. Tuner and stand last. That is the set. This page does not book a player. Request routes that. A wedding wants a processional. A funeral wants quiet seating. A corporate hour wants background, not a recital. Florida afternoon air swells wood. Lyon and Healy care notes belong with the player, not on a seating chart.

A concert harp
Pick the hour before the string count.

Wedding hour

Prelude, processional, signing, recessional. Named titles the couple already chose. A lawn still wants a processional. Cites on Wedding. Ask the player what they will actually carry onto grass. A pedal harp on a patio is a different load than a lever harp in a chapel. Shade, a firm pad, and a path that is not wet sand are the venue jobs. The player should not learn those on the hour. Name them on the request.

Funeral hour

Quiet seating. Hymns the family named. Volume stays low. Cites on Funeral. Do not pack a party book. Do not pack a click track. The hour is seating and named hymns. Tell the player the room size before they leave home. A small chapel and a large sanctuary are different volumes even with the same instrument.

Party or corporate hour

Background. Conversation louder than the harp. A shorter book, sometimes one named song. Cites on party and corporate. A lobby wants less volume than a ceremony. A cocktail hour wants a shorter set than a processional. Name the hour on the request so the book matches. A branded walk-on is not a wedding processional. Do not copy a ceremony list onto a lobby hour.

A lever harp
Lever often travels. Formal rooms often want pedal.

Lever or pedal

A lever harp often has 22 to 40 strings. It is the usual traveler for a lawn, a hotel foyer, or a small room. A concert pedal harp typically has 47 strings and seven pedals. Formal rooms often want that sound. Read the player's page for what actually arrives. Do not pack a concert harp for a lawn until the player says it will travel. Direct sun while guests find seats is a wood problem, not a repertoire problem.

A concert pedal harp
Forty-seven strings if the room asked for pedal.

Tuner, stand, case

Pack a clip-on chromatic tuner and a folding stand after the instrument is named. Florida afternoon air swells wood. A tuner is how the player checks that, not a seating-chart note. Lyon and Healy care notes stay with the player. A gig bag or hard case is the travel object. A music stand is the page object. Do not skip the tuner because the room already has a piano. The harp is not the piano.

A clip-on chromatic tuner
Check pitch after the humidity hits the wood.

A folding music stand
Pages need a stand. The harp is not a table.

If that is still the missing pair, Get this kit.

Instrument jobs sit on Compare. Player gear sits on Gear. Florida air sits on Outdoor humidity. Routing a player sits on Request. This set is the hour first, then the instrument, then tuner and stand.
