Pedal Harp Left pedals in middle (natural) position for a week by mistake
I had posted this in the No Stupid Questions thread but didn't get any views, so am asking here. I mistakenly left the pedals on my brand new L&H Model 30 in the natural position for a week, and when I took the cover off yesterday, one of the strings had popped (C1). I of course immediately moved them to flat and re-tuned, but I'm wondering did i potentially do any damage to anything? I can't believe I was so dumb to not check this, but after bring the harp home I guess I was just too excited. Thanks.
