Smokey the Harp!

I was at an all-day party/session on Saturday with my Ravenna (I usually play whistle at these gatherings, but I’m practicing learning how to accompany, and people do enjoy hearing the harp, so I bring it as well).

Hi Audrey,

Where was the case sitting? If it was sitting open where the smoke
could get to it, then you put the harp in the case and left it closed
up, the smokey case would have helped the harp to “marinate” in the
smell. I think that regular airing of both harp and case will get rid
of the smell pretty quickly, especailly if you weren’t that close to
the source.

Good luck,
Leigh

Thanks all!

Fortunately, the harp’s usually dwelling place is sitting up on its stand next to the piano (I normally only put it in its case to take it somewhere), so hopefully it will eventually air out.
