Harp Positioning

[unknown-user]

If you’re just playing the harp for enjoyment, and not really planning to perform at a formal concert at any time, why the heck not?

Any way that doesn’t hurt is a Good Way.

Is it possible to play a lap harp
while sitting slightly tilted back in a recliner, with the harp
leaning back against me? Or will the sound box be too muffled?
Harp music is just so relaxing and I’d love to sort of lollygag
around, strumming, not working on any particular tune, in my
favorite sun chair or recliner…

Can’t hurt ya if you do.

(I used to do the same thing back when I had my old celtic harp)

My husband fools around with my daughter’s harpsicle while lying on the sofa. “Dueling Banjos” never souned so angelic. He also will play “Shennandoa” and “Dixie”.

With most lap harps it should be fine. Under the crushing weight of a harp-shaped chunk of rosewood, however, you might get tired.

Oh Goth, give it a rest now, will you?

I too like to occasionally recline while I am plucking away.
