Again one of the 1st and easiest way is as in post 102 by unaccompanied melodies with the alternation of chord and transition melodic themes. Any triad of the scale and any melodic theme would sound romantic and beautiful.
In a Celtic harp with levers tuned in C, an easy A Harmonic minor is to give a sharp by levers at the G, and the harmonic double minor (Byzantine) is to give a sharp by levers at G and D (strictly speaking it will be a mode of the C major harmonic double minor).
Especially the method described in post 104 with simple Dolphin words of long and short parts, that are alternated not with a full 3-notes chord but with a interval of 5th, and especially only one based on the B (2nd step of the harmonic A minor scale) will give beautiful pieces that remind the Erik Satie Gnossiennes. To be more specific just follow the video by Ray Pool on Dorian Improvisation with harp and apply it not on the Dorian mode of a diatonic scale, but on the Dorian mode (starting from B) in the harmonic A minor scale. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NomPFFmycDo&t=447s
There are of course more advanced improvisation methods with chord accompanied melodies.

Another method is to play in the harp with the left hand a simple random melody in lower octaves , (It applied to all scales not only the Byzantine scales) and then with the right hand at higher octaves , a triad chord with always middle note the last note of the simple melody of the left hand (or root or dominant note but always the same rule during the improvisation) . For guitarist that have fingernails at the right hand and no finger nails at he lefts hand playing a simple low pitch melody and then such an alternation of chord with the right hand is easier and more convenient (See also the Colombian harpist Edmar Castandeda). Of course this improvisation can be done also with a (diatonic or harmonic simple minor or harmonic double minor) wind instrument, and instead of chord we play the arpeggio of the chord in single or in two octaves.
Still, another simpler improvisation method that applies to all scales is to keep sounding the root note of the scale and play freely with melodic themes in the scale. E.g. Shastro flute improvisations
