Thanks everyone for this advice!! I really want to try this, though it does seem labor intensive. It would be so great to have someone watch me replace a few to make sure I did understand how to correctly do this. I will keep you all posted if I do end up taking a swing at this!

Hey, glad you found that info. I got the same email at the same time! LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks everyone! These are some great ideas. Too bad I can’t play all of them. LOL.

(TIA = Thanks In Advance)

Sorry to post on such an old thread….

I was wondering if anyone knows of a short Cadenza for a student of mine who has to learn this in a short period of time. We currently have the Grandjany version (the one I did and know) but the competition states that they cannot make any cuts the cadenza, so I’m looking for a shorter published version for her to substitute.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, These are great. I think my sister (the other harpist) wanted to do Raga as well. Such a cool piece!

Carl, you’re right 2 harp duets is redundant, but when I was searching online, “harp duets” pulled works with mixed instrumentation, so I just wanted to clarify the ensemble 🙂 Obviously I should have realized that here, I needed only to say harp duets.

Thank you so Much Everyone! and Floraleda, that’s great information. I’ve seen a few used 30s with the square body and was a little hesitant, it’s good to hear the different opinions!

Now just to find a used one that’s not black 🙂 ….

I thought I saw that on a few of the harps for sale. Good to know that they changed to the curved backs. Ouch!

Thanks! They did find something! Just in the nick of time. Phew!

The sound is really what is most important, thus why I’m sticking to Lyon & Healy harps. I would get a different style, if the price and sound was right, but obviously we all have our favorites. I haven’t had a chance to drive out to Chicago to try a bunch yet, so I’m curious to see what those who own 30’s think of their sound as compared to other L&H instruments.

Last time I had a hotel gig, I got about $50/hr.

There’s also MPulse at UM, Blue Lake, and I think Isabelle Perrin does a shorter camp mid summer near Michigan?

My Friend on Facebook just replied… it was written in 1949 and Premiered in 1950!… Figured I’d post it here just incase anyone else ever needs the same thing 🙂
