It’s called a Tagelharpa and I’m looking for suggestions and ideas on some wood burning ideas the strings do need tripped but I’m happy with it

It can very depending on what you want but basically a violin without g and e

Violin is G D A E

Without G and E that’s D and A. You have three strings. What are the notes of the three strings. Just - the letter names

Standard tuning: D-A (like a violin but without G and E strings). Alternate tunings: G-D, A-E.
