Caswell harps – any news?

[Angela Biggs]

Hi everybody –

I have a student who ordered a SweetHarp from Caswell Harps almost seven months ago, and can’t get an ETA on the harp. I know Chris had some supply issues in Fall 2011, and then health issues in November/December, but in January he started sending out general update emails and it looked like production was getting rolling again (and apparently his son was getting involved?). However, that communication stopped, now his voice mail inbox is full, and my student’s daughter hasn’t received a response to an email she him an email a week ago.

His website now says there will be “a modest price increase on the SweetHarps on April 1”, and the calendar he’s posted on his website shows that he’s giving lessons and going to fairs all this month — which makes it look like he’s still in operation, so I’m stumped. Do any of you know if there’s something going on?

Fortunately, my student only put down a deposit. . . but at this point her Pakistani is seriously inadequate, and although she really wants *this* harp, if she needs to go back to shopping, we need to know. 🙂

Thanks so much!

Angela

Angela,

There’s a thread on the ‘coffee break’ forum right now about this very thing. I’d link it, but I don’t know how. I hope it all works out for your student!

Thank you! I ran a Google search on harpcolumn before I posted, but that thread didn’t come up. I will go find it! Thanks again!
