There are two ways to change the pitch of a harp:
1. change the pitch of an individual string using a tuning key
2. change all strings in the same pitch class (i.e. all D's, all B's, all G's) to one half step higher or lower using pedals (on a pedal/orchestral harp) or levers (on a lever harp)

What is the physics of a harp?
The harp player plucks a string and it vibrates at a certain frequency, depending on the length of the string. The shorter the string, the higher the pitch. The volume can be determined on how hard the string is plucked. The harp is made of wood because wood resonates well. A pedal can be attached in order to make each string higher by shortening it by a certain amount.

How do you change the pitch of the note?
You change the pitch by lengthening or shortening the vibrating string, or column of air that is producing the sound. Can be done by fingers against a string (stringed instruments), plucking or hammering shorter or longer strings (piano/harpsichord/harp) opening or covering holes (woodwinds) or changing the length of tubing (brass instruments).

How do you change the amplitude on a harp?
To change the amplitude on a harp, you can pluck the strings with varying degrees of force to produce louder or softer sounds. Alternatively, you can use the pedals on a pedal harp to adjust the tension of the strings, which can affect the overall volume and intensity of the sound produced.
