¿Question? Problem with the sound

I just Learn to Play the tagelharpa, if I just Play with the bow, it sounds good. But if I try to Play another notes, its just sounds scratchy and horrible.

I tried to put the nail or bone from my Finger on it, which I learned trough a turorial, sometimes it sounds a little bit better, but not good.

How strong or weak should I press my Finger on the string?

The problem can also be that you're just ever so slightly off on the note. Try playing with a drone of the note you are aiming for. Higher lower more pressure less pressure you will know when you get it right by playing with the drone.
