Tuning a Metallophone
By Carl Dodrill

I have really enjoyed the posts on tuning a xylophone; thanks to
all who contributed.  Does anyone have comments on this kind of
tuning when the instrument has metal bars?

Sooner or later, I am going to have to tune a harp with metal bars
and fiber hammers.  Any differences here compared with wooden bars?
Do you treat both the fundamentals and the overtones in the same way
as with wooden bars?

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance that can be offered.
