Step 1: Prepare the Harp

Lay your harp so the soundboard is parallel to the floor, with the sound-

holes facing up (see figure 1). It is important to get the soundboard as level

as you can. Prop your harp up securely, with a carpet or other padded

surface under the pillar and the base.

Use a slightly damp rag to wipe any dust or debris off of the inside of the

soundboard and the soundboard lining along the left side of the harp.

This will help to ensure the pickup elements and harness clips adhere well.

For Ravenna models with a drop-down leg installed, fully extend the leg

to get it out of the way.

Step 2: Drill Jack Hole

If you don't want to drill a hole in your harp, the Dusty Pickup Jack Clamp may be used as a secure and removable alter-

native. See more at www.dustystrings.com.

If you have a Ravenna harp, it may have a pre-drilled hole, which would be on the left quarter stave on the back of the

harp, covered by a plastic cap. If you have a pre-drilled hole, you can skip the drilling step.

Find the center of the jack hole for your harp in the table below.

Using an awl, mark the position of the center of the hole on the back of the harp.

Place a paper towel inside the harp under the hole location to collect dust and wood chips from drilling.

Caution: When drilling, use gentle pressure to avoid chipping out the back of the hole and

to prevent the drill from plunging through and damaging the soundboard.

Carefully drill a hole with a ½

drill bit perpendicular to the surface of the harp.

After drilling, make sure the inside edge of the hole is free of splinters.

Note: Using a brad-point drill bit is important. This type of bit centers the hole and

holds the bit in place, helping to prevent damage caused by the drill bit sliding on the

surface of the harp. It can also help to ensure that the hole doesn't get "wowed out" as

you drill. If needed, ½" brad-point bits are available from Dusty Strings.
