Patricia,
I did quite a detailed search before posting the question, and found lots of makers using these levers. The harp is a Dusty Strings Allegro 26, so I may just go through the maker, but was hoping to find a supplier without their markup.
I generally prefer Truitt levers, but I want to match the existing levers on this harp.
Cheryl,
This is the first time we’d seen color coded tuning pins too.
Aside from looking pretty cool with the black harp, they make finding the correct pin for tuning easier.
Another option you might consider is a Heartland Harp Infinity carbon fiber model.
My wife upgraded to this model from her Heartland Dreamweaver, and is very very happy with it.
The harp only weighs 8 pounds, and allows her to take it to her weekly lessons.
This particular harp is also configured with an internal
Jerusha,
He uses it with a hybrid guitar (it has both piezo acoustic pickups and dual humbuckers).
I think the MicroCube is great for an average size or large room, but not close to the power necessary for a venue that seats 500.
My son has a Roland MicroCube that he uses for guitar (he also has a Fender amp)
I’m very impressed with the little amp.
One more thought…
If you’ve got an extra harp, or one you won’t be using full time at the conference, you can “share” your harp with folk who couldn’t transport theirs.
On the other hand… if you’re attending workshops that are hands on, bringing a harp to play is a very good thing.
Although Lauren and I were introduced to harps while visiting in a hospital, we took everyone’s advice and got a floor harp for Lauren to learn on.
Lauren has started with a Heartland Dreamweaver, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the harp-for-the-dollar.
