A good test for the ergonomic aspects of the overall shape of a harp
is to use it as you would use a bar of soap when making suds for
washing. This way will show up any sharp edges or corners. I call it
the soap bar test ;-)
It only refers to how smooth the overall shape is. So a Hohner Golden
Melody or Tombo Ultimo or Huang Star Performer or Suzuki Bluesmaster
would all 'score' well in this test, how ever it says nothing about
how well an instrument plays, long it lasts or any of that other stuff.
