The shorter the string - the higher the pitch.
The length of harp strings can vary depending on the type of harp. For example, concert grand pedal harp strings can be around 6 feet long, while smaller lever harp strings may be around 3 feet long. The length of the strings corresponds to the pitch they produce when plucked.
If you would want a high pitch you would need to pluck the strings hard and if you would like a low pitch you would need to pluck it lightly for a harp!
A standard pedal harp typically has 47 strings. These strings are manipulated using pedals to change their pitch, allowing the harpist to play a wide range of musical notes and keys. Watch this video to answer all of your questions Just put youtube.c0m /shorts/tjFDicSVBd4?si=pVNL_UxjxRXOD9yp
