    SOOOO PRETTY! What a LOVELY harp(well harps, your swan is gorgeous too)! I know this may sound very dumb, but how is this harp played? It looks too large to practically even get your arms around.

Sorry if I missed it, but what type of pedal harp is this?

    Thanks Kay! I wasn’t sure how exactly that one was played. I figured you wouldn’t have got it if you couldn’t play it though! 😉 haha Yea I just put the down payment on my first harp today! Its a Ravenna 26, not as exciting as your beauty, but I’m still VERY excited! I’m excited about it portability though, because I know I’m going to want to show it off! 😉

    Oh, I’m so envious! That’s exactly the harp model I’ve been wanting for a while. Congratulations! Tell me, what’s the sound like? Warm and resonant, full of volume, or more bright and bell-like?
