How to replace Bio Carbon Strings on a Salvi lever harp

Most new Salvi lever harps like the Juno, Mia, Hermes and Titan - use newer Bio Carbon strings from semi-tone levers from the "Start & Play Series".

Sipario BioCarbon Lever Strings

SIPARIO BIOCARBON® lever synthetic strings are made using a blend of a bio-plastic derived from sugar-cane; they deliver a powerful and bright tone that provides superior acoustic projection and sustain. Color-coded C’s and F’s.   Recently developed by Aquila strings for harps. These are not traditional Nylon, nor Fluorocarbon strings. They are a marvelous bio-plastic developed in Northern Italy a couple of years ago. The density is same of gut hence the gauges are the same of gut strings. The moisture absorption is more or less 30 times less than nylon strings; more or less 300 times less than gut.


Below is a video made by Salvi Harps showing the process they recommend.
