    After asking Resonance harp many questions, they refused to answer.

    I am considering Salvi or L&H again…

    I highly recommend sone small lever harp makers in Germany.
    The quality and sound are much better than the 3 major harp makers.

    I did play Dusty harp, and I like it, but I am looking something special.

    I heard the recording from Diana Rowan, she plays Nova harp.

    sound so spiritual, is it the same type of sound of your harp?

    what type of wood? Is it maple?

    How old of your harp?

    May I know how much you bought?

    I ask you these question because I already contact John, the harp maker.
    he might agree to make harp for me.

    Thanks.

    I did play L&H style 100 yesterday, sound very nice, little brighter than 23, am I correct? I saw a two years old style 100 sell for $18,000, should I buy it? I love style 100 look, so beautiful!
    For new 100 similar price comparison to Salvi Aurora, which do you prefer?

    My first consideration is Salvi Arion, the size is similar to L&H style 85E, but less expensive. They are both good for me, what is your comparision of these two harp? do they both have good base sound? I like Arion look more than style 85. Are these two harps semi grand?

    I do hear difference Salvi Arion SG and Arion SG Gold, Salvi said the glossy paint make the harp sound brighter, do you agree? New Salvi does not sound little at all, the Arianna is amazing! Arion SG do sound less than grand, but Gold model sound bigger.

    The style 85 CG sound nicer, bigger than 85E, but for extra $2,000 is it worth? what is your feeling?

    Someone said Salvi sound more ’round’, L&H sound more ‘expressive’, what is your feeling? too bad, I am not able to compare these two at same time.

    Salvi and L&H have no pedal to pedal upgrade program?

    Do these harp showroom offer floor model sale or annual sale?
    Do they keep fresh model every year? Harp is not like car?

    I did try Dysty FH36, suprise the sound, so much fun to play, but get bored easily with lever harp, feel the limit, less challenging; some very sensitive feeling only pedal harp can make it. I am in S. California, no chance to try R-harp, hate to drive to N. california. So my conclusion is only 25% will consider lever harp.

    I do agree Carl said the touch make sound different. However, I do need expert’s help to get the best quality harp and affordable. I do envision when I climb to the top of hill, I will see difference. You are already on the top of hill, why judge me? The journey to become harpist is very difficult. No reason no time to gossip in this forums.

    I feel that is OK to express our opinion of the harp. I do like Camac harp, but I also play piano and electronic keyboard, for the technology, I can “easily imitate the Camac sound”, but Salvi or L&H sound feel like good wine.
    I am looking for decision between these two.
    Sorry for my poor writing.
