Incidentally, they have both a regular and an easy piano edition. In my experience the easy piano version is easier to find and it’s not ultra-simple, like a Big Note edition. There’s enough there to work from.
I’m not aware of any harp version. The Showstoppers book is for piano. Try any regular music store, not a harp music dealer.
Not at all, Fairy. I have known people who have had their harps (and cars) removed at gun point. The average thief-type person knows nothing about serial numbers and is not going to fence it to anyone who does, either.
L&H once told me they had gotten back a gold harp that had been stolen, and the thieves had sawed the column into pieces, thinking it was all gold. They were disappointed.
Also, I have known of harpists stealing harps, too. There are a few people out there who have to stay out of certain countries now.
Well, I hope so, but I would take into account that things like the hatch door styling can make a dramatic difference in the harpability of a small car.
Let us know how it goes.
>BTW in Australia Corollas are both the hatchback and sedan
That may not be the same as the Matrix, then. The Matrix was a joint venture between Toyota and Pontiac. Still, it’s definitely worth taking your harp in and giving it a try.
The trick is to put the passenger’s seat forward and make sure the back isn’t reclining too much. Then just load normally and swing the base of the harp to the right once it’s in.
This works fine if your dolly loads separately from the harp. If you have the kind of rig, like a Hartwig, where the harp stays on the cart, it most likely won’t work at all.
No, it cannot. But you could adapt the Romance in F fairly easily, although of course it’s still a tough piece.
Absolutely La Source. As program music it resonates a lot more with audiences, most of whom don’t even know what an aeolian harp is, so have no idea of what one sounds like.

I LOVE that recording. Has it ever been released on CD? My LP Is pretty much worn out.
Who, me? Thanks, LInda, but I always load my own harp without putting the passenger’s seat down. I need that to strap in my bench, when traveling with a concert grand. For the lever harp I use a folding bench that can slip in behind the passenger seat.
Or did you mean Gloria rather than me? Yes, that might work for her if the seat will go down all the way.
I have known professional harpists who used nylon test line, so yes,it is possible, although I don’t know how the quality control compares with real strings these days.
> I haven’t been able to find the harp with just 7 controlling levers. I wouldn’t mind looking at that more closely. Does anyone have more precise information on where it’s found?
It is the Dilling Model Harp, which was made by Arslaan Fay. He lost all his tools and equipment in Hurricane Charley a few years ago. I don’t know if he has tooled up to make them again.
