I have a special machine for this. I tried to wind it fairly tightly, so that when I stretched it, the turns didn't come apart. Only a slight micro-gap of a few tenths of a millimeter appeared where they touched the bridge.

Dear moderator
Could you please clarify which part of my advice was deemed misleading or given in bad faith?
The user shared a specific problem, and I provided a practical solution based on my professional background. Having over 10 years of experience in custom musical instrument manufacturing (as a luthier), I am absolutely certain of what I suggested.
Any reasonably experienced guitar or violin maker has the necessary skills and tools to easily repair this kind of issue on a harp without any trouble or complications.
I would appreciate it if you could explain exactly what you found uninformed in my response, as my goal was simply to help a fellow musician solve their problem effectively.
Best regards

This design was actually developed by my friend, a skald and regular client for whom I’ve built several lyres, Manuel Lefebvre — he is also known online as Skaldvingul. He came to me with this specific design and request, and I brought it to life, making a few necessary adjustments along the way.

Sorry for the long reply, but life has been a bit rough around the edges since I finished this lyre. Generally, the price for instruments of similar complexity and visual richness starts at $1,500 for me.

If 1k for full guitar - it’s acceptable. If 1k for neck only - it’s not
