*shudders* To each their own, and all that, but damn--where do you draw the line?
Well, yes, but this is a whole other level. A properly tensioned guitar exerts about 100-150 lbs of force on the neck (which would be equivalent to someone hanging by six hooks I suppose). I know a piano exerts several tons of force on the frame. I would imagine a harp falls somewhere in the middle of those two, and would seem like it would be a bit much. But then what do I know? Maybe it is possible.

Yes, this makes more sense. It's just a bit more... lateral then I was expecting.
