To post pictures, you need to upload the pics to a photo hosting site, such as http://www.photobucket.com.
Just to give you an idea of how much people love the harp (no matter what you do on it):
I was noodling around on a harp this summer between classes.
Can you post a picture of the harp…or better yet, of one of the tuning pegs?
(Please tell me it isn’t rosewood, with lots of fancy carving on the side…).

What you’re describing is perfectly natural…and I think we all go through it. All of Rachel’s advice is golden.
The Spanish speakers are closer than they know! In Irish, “O’Leary” is “Ó Laoire,” which is pronounced (more or less) “Oh LAYR-eh,” and what became Anglicized to “Daniel/Danny” is actually “Donal” (DUN-ul).
One of our regulars on the Irish Gaelic Translation Forum is an Argentinian of Irish descent living in Buenos Aires.
It would be pronounced “KLAR-sokh” in Scottish Gaelic (the spelling “Clàrsach” is Scottish) or “KLAR-shokh” in Irish (the Irish word is spelled Cláirseach).
Thanks!
It’s not a problem, then, that it appears to be slightly “inside” (for want of a better word) of the edge soundbox, compared to the rest of the soundboard?
For some reason Flickr isn’t letting me just copy the image location, but here are some links that illustrate what I’m trying to describe:

A view of the soundboard on the other side of the harp, for contrast:
