Proper tilting up 45 degrees will decrease tension in the mouth caused by lip pursing.


Less tension equals more relaxed attitude and better tone.

I've seen some reference to tilting the harp up or down to improve tone 
elsewhere. Nobody mentioned this as an enhancement (that I can recall) during 
the recent discussion of best ways to achieve good tone.


Personally, I've never noticed any difference from playing the harp level, 
tilted up or tilted down.
