Broken Strings

It is not common to watch a string break from a stringed instrument, especially harp.

When I was sitting in position with the harp yesterday (or the day before), I noticed that there was something wrong with the C5 string (the C below middle C). But it was not me who broke it.

Yeda was playing Planet Earth with Farid on English horn, on MY solo part. Currently, the only instrument that I found accompanying this solo, is harp.

I was lucky because I wasn't playing English horn, so that I have a chance to see how the string breaks. It happens with a loud crack. And I shall leave the rest to your imagination.
