    Duckspeak:  exactly!  I hosted my HarpCircle (8 harpist) on Saturday, and there was some shoe discussion!  😉

    CJLHarpo:  I totally understand your perspective.  My friend, Janet Witman plays both pedal harp and lever harp, and it is amazing what she can do on a lever harp.  One will never get bored or outgrow any kind of harp!  I thought long and hard about my decision to move onto pedal harp, and got clear that for me, it might open up some musical options and some ease.  It seemed like many songs that I wanted to play required pedals.  It sounds like you have more musical background and therefore, can adapt quite nicely!  At 52, I figured that pedals harp timing was now or never.  I can always revert to lever harp down the road.  How wonderful that we have so many choices with harps!

    It’s wonderful to hear you got your 85E, Karen!  What finish does it have?

    Here we are, Karen, with our L&H 85GP!  Hope I did this “file insert” correctly!  I am also a “caveman” like Carl S. said in a recent post, about this sort of technology on the Internet, ha, ha!

    Hi Karen! My advice is to just work around the “missing” string. Adaptability is a wonderful thing. 😀 I have a Clio, and I really like It! If you get the electro-acoustic, it’s really fun to play plugged in too. It’s also quite lightweight. However, it’s your purchase, so you should get what you Want! Happy harp shopping! And please keep us updated on your final choice!
