How to Make Your Own Harp Tuning Key Storage Solution 

If you’re a harpist, you know how important it is to keep your tuning key close at hand. Making your own tuning key storage solution is a great way to keep your key organized and accessible. Here’s how to make your own harp tuning key storage solution:

Materials Needed

• Wooden dowel
• Drill
• Saw
• Sandpaper
• Paint or stain (optional)
• Hook or screw eye

Instructions

1. Cut the wooden dowel to the desired length. The length will depend on how many tuning keys you want to store and how long your tuning keys are. A good starting point is 6 to 8 inches.
2. Sand the wooden dowel to smooth any rough edges.
3. Drill a hole in one end of the dowel. The hole should be slightly smaller than the hook or screw eye that you will be using.
4. Paint or stain the wooden dowel if desired. Let it dry completely.
5. Screw the hook or screw eye into the hole you drilled in the end of the dowel.
6. Attach the tuning key storage solution to your harp. You can attach it to the pillar of your harp or to the base of the neck, depending on your preference.
7. Hang your tuning keys on the hook or screw eye.

Tips

• You can make multiple tuning key storage solutions to attach to different parts of your harp, making it easy to access your tuning keys from any angle.
• If you want to make your storage solution more decorative, you can add additional hooks or screw eyes along the length of the dowel to hang other accessories, such as a music stand light or a metronome.
• If you don’t have a drill, you can use a small screw and a hammer to make a pilot hole in the end of the dowel before screwing in the hook or screw eye.

Conclusion

Making your own harp tuning key storage solution is a simple and affordable way to keep your tuning keys organized and accessible. With just a few basic materials and some simple tools, you can create a customized storage solution that meets your needs and matches your personal style. Happy harping!
