I read somewhere that Paul Butterfield played his harp upside down.

You didn't say if you hold the harp "upside down" or not.
( high notes on the left---low notes on the right)
Lots of amazing players played that way.
If you play "right side up", however, it will affect the degree to which
you are able to create hand effects since your cup will not be
enveloping the lower end, as David pointed out.
