Best Answer

The easiest and most effective way is to use a contact pickup. There are several brands available: B-band (AST), Mcintyre, Barcus Berry, and L.R. Baggs (I-Beam). Some people use two pickups--one low and one high on the soundboard--to get the full range. You may need to use some EQ to avoid too much bass. Most pickups can be mounted inside the soundbox, on the back of the soundboard.

Alternatively, you can use two microphones; one set low and one high. This gives a more natural sound than a pickup, but is more susceptible to feedback. The primary problem is avoiding hitting the upper mic when the harp is returned to its resting position. This is mostly a matter of the harpist getting in the habit of swinging the boom away, first.
