Gut strings on lever harp
One of my strings snapped recently so I have to replace it (this would be my first time) but I have a couple questions. I looked at a youtube video recently that mentioned that nylon strings aren’t that strong sounding and on lever harps they need to be mic’ed to be heard in an orchestra. I’m part of a a diy small orchestra at my local church so I don’t really have anyone from there to ask about this. The youtube video recommended that gut strings would make the sound come out louder, but another article mentioned that it could hurt my soundboard to put gut strings that aren’t the right dimensions on it so I don’t knoww. I want to replace my string but should I try to get those gut strings so that I sound better or just invest in microphones and speakers and just get the nylon again? Any recommendations?
