The cast frame inside is a beautiful piece of work though, so I'll keep

:-) I thought about leaving it 'harpable', but maybe it's better to back
the tension off when it's all open like that (although I'd leave the
strings on, I think). It came from a school and has obviously had a very
traumatic 100-odd years; I suppose I shouldn't assume that it's about to
self destruct, but maybe better safe than sorry!

The force on the frame when fully tensioned is up to 40 tons.
