That’s a good idea (practicing setting the pins with a block of hardwood).

A note for Tony…I found my list of Irish teachers in the Bay Area.

Well, the taping was last night, and I think it went well.

[Audrey Nickel]

I’ll have to check it out!

[Audrey Nickel]

That’s actually why I mentioned the classes at the UICC.

Tony, you’re lucky…the San Francisco Bay Area is probably the best location on the west coast for Irish language learners.

[Audrey Nickel]

You’re not being a wimp at all.

[Audrey Nickel]

Same here.

That’s good to hear!

I’ve heard that Muis uses an unusual stringing system (using one wire for two strings by running it down through one string hole and up through another).

[Audrey Nickel]

I wouldn’t think that a slightly damp bathrobe would cause any lasting damage to finished wood (well, maybe if it were draped over it for hours, but not from simply coming into contact with it as someone played).

[Audrey Nickel]

Well, the thing is, they don’t need to be all that long to play wire.

[Audrey Nickel]

I don’t know if you’ve done this already, Pippin, but it’s worth calling the harp teachers in your area.

[Audrey Nickel]

Ah…she’s lovely!

[Audrey Nickel]

I actually have a bit of an update as well…it looks like my Dreamsinger may be in cherry after all.

[Audrey Nickel]

My teacher plays both (and she plays wire in the traditional style…with the nails).
