I changed my grip just about 3 years ago, after playing for 14 years.
I was at spah in dallas 2003 and was blown away by Phil Wiggins sound and realized that he was doing a lot of muting to get a good resonance. Phil - who is a GREAT harp player, as well as a nice guy - showed me how he holds the harp, making a sealed cup with some resonating space by actually keeping the right hand sealed to the CHEEK. kinda hard to describe, but the point is - it is hard to change old, basic habits, but I think this really helped me develope a nice acoustic sound, with a lot of variations in tone. Worth the effort
