Re: Re: How much playing is too much for the harp?

Thanks, Tony, for the good thoughts. Yes, I agree with all of your suggestions, (though I don’t replace my bass wires as often as is recommended, mostly because I hate that “metallic” sound they have when they are new). I would add not moving the instrument roughly to the list! I guess the question underneath my question is, is playing the harp good for the harp? (It almost sounds like an existential question!) I assume it is beneficial for an instrument to be played, despite obvious issues of wear and tear, etc.
