    Hi Kathy,

    One new (to me) exhibit was that of David Kortier, harpmaker (http://www.kortier.com) from Duluth, Minnesota. He brought four kinds of lever harps ranging in price from $1995. to $6995. The four types are Acoustic/Electric Lever Harps, Electric Lever Harps, Midi/Electric Harps, and Midi Controller Harps(no sound until connected to a synthesizer.). The displayed

    Patricia,
    David Kortier was at the 2008 Conference, and I got a chance to see and play the midi harp. It was so fascinating!

    Elizabeth, hubby and I hope to be at the WHC in Vancouver. I worked for R. Murray Schafer on his World Soundscape Project and also soloed in some of his works when the Vancouver Bach Choir toured Canada. I sang with the Vancouver Bach Choir and that’s how I got to know Llewellynne Adam, principal harpist for the Vancouver Symphony. She is still one of the most elegant harpists and dearest people I have ever met. I thought of her a lot when I was arranging “The Blooming Bright Star of Belle Isle” for harp as that was one of our favorite pieces with the Vancouver Bach Choir. Now that my harp arrangement is published I’d like to share it with her. Oh, I so want to come to Vancouver! (Murray and Lew knew me by my maiden name Swink.)
