learning Piano after harp?

[Stephen Conor]

I am with you that learning from piano lesson to harp is difficult than harp to piano. Some friends of mine learned piano first then tried to learn the harp and they had difficulties on they way.

[Saul Davis Zlatkovski]

I find it much harder to play piano after harp because the spacing is so much wider. Harpsichord, on the other hand, is about the same as the harp, so the keys are very comfortable to play. I think the degree of difficulty in switching from piano to harp probably depends on the type of piano technique you were taught. But I do notice a lot of harpists who are excellent pianists have the habit of not closing their fingers, which is to me an impedance.
