Most lever and pedal harps are tuned by each string being wrapped around a metal peg, which goes through the top of the harp, and has a square on the other side. A special tuning key fits all the square ends of the metal pegs, allowing the harpist to tighten or loosen the string by twisting the peg in a circular motion.
Paraguayan harps, on the other hand, have something that can be twisted attached directly to each string. This works in a manner similar to that of the lever and pedal harps, except there is no need for a tuning key.
Harps need to be tuned regularly. If the weather is humid, stormy, or constantly varying between warm and cold, then the harp will go out of tune very quickly, sometimes even within a few minutes of tuning. If the weather is consistently cool, and the air is dry, then the harp can stay in tune for over a week. As a general rule though, it is often recommended that a harp is tuned at least once a day.
