Curly Wurly’s New Harp Picture

Wasn’t Pippin Took one of Mimi’s incarnations before Frilly too? I think so….HAHAHAHA…..this is so nuts.

You all have such nice real names. I wish you would use them instead of these confusing nicknames.

[kay-lister]

Sorry girls, I must agree with Catherine.

Well, having had a complaint about a request that I play for next to nothing, I decided at that time that I would rather not post under my actual name. The person posting about a complaint with their teacher is a perfect example of what I am talking about. The worldwide web can be a very peculiar place.

Yep, that is why I’m Curly these days….given my experience. Maybe I shold be Rurly Curly Wurly, so that the R reminds people of me? Any suggestions of a pseudonym that reminds people of who I was is fine with me!

Anyway, Frilly Dilly was Jen, Mimi and Pippin Took were Miso Soup…always had a pseudonym from the first place.

That photo of the Salvi was on a funny angle, it had more hand room than that. But yes, less than a modern L&H. As before that I played a Aoyama, that had virtually no hand room in the upper, I found it wonderful! I also have small hands so that didn’t bother me too much. But I don’t know how I would go these days, as from playing the 100 and the 17 there is so much more room, it might be hard to go backwards!

Hi Brookster,

June kindly talked me through how to load photos from a thingee called photo bucket. If you send the photo to me as an attachment and I will put it on the harp column for you.

Cheers,

Romy Curly Wurly

Here’s my Maple Prelude I got from the Virginia Harp Center this March.

Sorry that’s so big, my first attempt with a digital camera…should’ve resized it!

[Briggsie B. Peawiggle]

…..and here’s me wishing it were bigger so I could see the levers better. Oh Andy, that Prelude is a beauty. I LOVE the natural ones…..I favor all natural harps, but I ended up with a walnut harp and an ebony one. Still….your Prelude is just beautiful. They are such pretty, classic things.

Ahh, isn’t it a pretty pretty pretty preciousness…..I love Preludes that are too cute for words. and that decal it gorgeous, its the style 15 decal and very sweet. Look at the finishing on it, little gold claw feet and a little hat for wearing out on special occassions….to cute for words Andy! Tell us all about how it sounds….I have found the Preludes are usually really nice sounding.

You’ll get a blondey one day Briggs, you need a smaller pedal harp really, one that is more portable for gigs…One day…..one of those little

[andy-b]

It has a really nice, mature, rich, resonant sound.

[Briggsie B. Peawiggle]

I DO love those Clios. Actually I may someday finagle to get an old 15 that is sitting in my friends house not getting played. It will be awhile, but I hope to get it someday. It’s blonde….old….in excellent shape. It just needs some lovin’. And I need some money. She keeps it because she has a harp that way — even though she never ever plays it. It hurts to think about it just sitting there, but it hurts even more to think of her harpless. She isn’t healthy.

So, which doggy has the mature rich sound, the fatty on the left, or trim taut and terrific on the right??

[unknown-user]

Yes, 15’s are rather fab, especially in natural.
