DIY tagelharpa string

I recently got the tagelharpa bug and decided to make one. I was having trouble getting the strings to sound decent and after a ton of experimentation, I went with a Flemish twist like I would on a traditional archery bow. Probably not the traditional way but sounds ok to me and they don t fly apart when you remove them from the instrument. The hair is supposedly Mongolian stallion hair from eBay but I m no expert. Also this is not an instrument I m very familiar with at all, and its a first time build, the scale is pretty odd I think, not big enough to lay across your lap without bowing into your knee and too tall to play comfortably in the upright position so I went with a strap and guitarish hold. I hope this doesn t break any tagelharpa rules
