Help, I’m stuck in by harp!

[kay-lister]

The answer on another thread has brought me to this question. Has anyone or do you know of anyone who has even gotten their hair, clothing, body part or whatever stuck in the harp or a musical instrument.

Sorry – stuck in MY harp. Somebody switched my keys around again!

Well, not stuck in the harp exactly, but years ago I was moving a Salvi McFall lever harp I had (on a dolly, but with only the cloth cover on the harp), when I tripped…the harp stayed perfectly still and upright, and my face and upper lip made direct contact against the tuning pins.

I would ask was what my head doing so low on the harp as for the hair to catch the string in the first place….

I used to have a layered cut which caused my hair to form “wings” that would regularly get caught in the discs. I would have to wait until the next flat pedal change to release myself!

Well, it finally happened to me today!

If you want a easier version, Daniel Burton did an arrangment for Flute and Harp that I am sure the violin could play. I think it is in Book 5 of Flute and Harp pieces.

I have had my long hair stuck in the pins of the Brittany but I am new to harp and have had no problem onstage for the simple reason that I am not ready to play harp onstage. However,

Sure! Depending on the hairstyle of the week, my hair gets stuck…my earrings pull…my clothing sticks to the harp if it’s humid…I’ve even gotten my hand stuck in the harp, while changing a string. Terrible!
