strings going ‘pop’ in the middle of the night

I keep my harp in my bedroom, maybe a little too close to the bed..what a fright when I had a string break in the middle of the night! I must have jumped 5 feet in the air!

Oh wow. That reminds me of the time I used to rent a Troubadour harp from a high school. I used to keep the harp in my bedroom where I covered it up for the night. One time, during the first days of having that harp, I woke up in the morning to uncover the harp only to find a broken string plaguing the harp. It must have broke in the middle of the night when I was sleeping and I didn’t hear a thing. Must have been a heavy sleeper back then. Otherwise, I would’ve woken up to the sound of the string breaking off.

are you kidding? you slept through that?

That sounds like jealous harp syndrome to me…ha ha! Where was your cello when this happened? Seriously, I hope you enjoy your cello and your harp. One of the aspects of playing harp I enjoy most is my involvement with a couple of groups to play with. Is there anything like that near you for either instrument?
Best, Diana L.

What I really miss is when I used to play with my daughter and my husband, I wish they would regain their interest in music.

I’ve heard that unwelcome sound in the middle of the night too.
