Please take note: John Kovac's engineered string sizes were changed after publishing his various plans & Harpmaking Made Simple book (HMS), etc. We now supply the updated string sizes recommended by traditional Paraguayan harp makers from South America.
So, please, ignore the obsolete string dimensions in the HMS book. Our string kits now contain the maker-recommended sizes.
(If you desire to use the sizes of the original strings, while we won't provide them, it is recommended you provide the string specifications to your other harp string maker for them to reproduce the original string parameters.)
We also send new-sized grommets meant to match the adjusted string parameters.

(But, inform us also to keep us in the loop if anything might be done on our end.)
- If you fail to notify the carrier in a timely manner and the claim gets rejected, you may forfeit your right to redress with the shipping carrier.
- For clarification, but not in all cases, once you make a claim with your delivery shipment carrier, and they approve your claim & finally pay you for your loss or damages, then you will forward us that payment. Once cleared with our financial institution, we will immediately ship out to you a replacement order(s).
