My translation of the known 18th C méthodes for pedal harp is available on Lulu for the hard copy, which is published at print cost and P&P, or the PDF version is available by contacting me directly. Whilst many members here have no issue with reading the French or German texts, a number of my students found the original engraved sources difficult to decipher, so I present them in English. Where I own an original copy, I have included the musical examples too, and cite so9urces of onlive versions of the ones I could not include in complete form. My translations (especially the German) are neithe infallible or exhaustive, but I hope they will prove useful to some. https://www.lulu.com/shop/mike-parker/18th-century-m%C3%A9thodes-for-harp/paperback/product-95qney8.html?q=18th+C+harp+m%C3%A9thodes&page=1&pageSize=4 some of the concepts contianed are discussed in my book A Very Imperfect Instrument, which discusses practical use and development of the single-action harp https://www.lulu.com/shop/mike-parker/a-very-imperfect-instrument/paperback/product-1864k2z4.html?q=imperfect+instrument&page=1&pageSize=4 Again, not infalinle or exhaustive, but hopefully useful
