How to Tune a Lap Harp

The lap harp, a small string instrument in concert pitch that is popular with young children, can be a wonderful first instrument to learn on, and is also a favorite of some more experienced student musicians. They do tend to need a lot of tuning, though, as regular play, occasional use, or even just sitting and collecting dust can cause the pegs to gradually unwind and pull the whole instrument out of tune. However, never fear... the lap harp is actually fairly easy to tune, with a little musical knowledge and a lot of patience.
