I just made this for my own use, and thought I'd share. It's formatted to print in landscape mode on a single 8.5x11" piece of paper (A4 users may have to reformat). It should be big enough to read in the dark or at a distance...

Here's a PNG:

Harp position chart

Here's a PDF version.

And here's the original Excel file, that you can edit to your hearts content.

Enjoy!

PS, I only included positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 12 because those are the only ones that I'd really use during a performance. I prefer to use another harp or tuning system rather than the other possible positions because I think it sounds better (and it's easier!).

That's pretty cool Isaac, very helpful to have a visual. I recently added this to my case and really wish I had it years ago. I stole parts and pieces from all over the web and most notably from hvyj right here.

I am interested to see what others have in there harp case..

How about a Guidonian hand?

Long jam tracks are excellent to give your ears a chance to listen to what your playing as well time to hone in and really listen to the other musicians....

You have the opportunity to get a real feel for the sound and notes on the harp as you have ample time to explore them in many differentt ways :)

Grab you Db, which is a sweet key and be prepared to have a lot of fun ....

Glad some folks have found that reference chart useful! No offense, but I think it's much more useful than a Guidonian Hand! ;)
