I haven't had any broken nylon or carbon fibre strings since I first fitted them. However one of the wires started to go 'curly' in the middle of the string and start to go out of tune. I've never experienced that curly feeling in the middle of a wire string before so I thought it was probably time to change it PDQ. Having replaced that wire string and noticed the difference in sound I decided to change all the wires and multifilament wires.

​WHAT A DIFFERENCE those new wires have made!!!

The rest of the strings still sound great, so there isn't any need to change them at all unless one breaks (which I suspect won't be for a while), I'll keep an ear on them in case they start to sound dull or out of tune, but so far they all sound good. However I think a refresh of the wires and multifilament wires every couple of years will probably be a good thing as they do seem to wear out.

I've recorded a couple of fun and easy to learn exercises for pedal harp that can be use as a daily warm up.

The first mini tutorial is called "let's get those feet moving!"

I play through the whole warm-up exercise on this IGTV post here

The harder version of that exercise is in a mini tutorial called, "One Step Beyond!", and the video for that is below...
