This may seem a silly question to all you experienced harp-folks, but is the Ravenna really as good as the feedback seems to indicate?
Thanks Emma. That Ravenna does look like a lovely harp. I’ll have a think about it and may talk to the person selling it. Thanks again to all for your help.
Goodness me…I know that having a harp is a personal thing but there’s some real passion here. Thank you for your kind words. I’ve definitely been leaning towards a Camac harp and in the New Year I’ll be nipping along to the Early Music Shop in Bradford to try some.
As I’m quite a tall chap I’ll need to have a harp that stands a reasonable height (or can have legs fitted) so as I’ve investigated further I’ve decided to stretch my budget to include the ‘Isolde’. Traditional and early music together with interpretations of more modern pieces is my aim. No doubt I’ll see some of you at the various harp festivals in 2020. ‘Til then ‘all the very best’..Thank you all again for your advice. What a lovely bunch you are!
Emma, I appreciate that visiting a harp festival may be a good way to try out lots of different instruments, but I’m probably like many people in that I would be very self conscious about demonstrating my basic skills in front of people, so would rather visit a store where I could have a little privacy and time to get to know each harp I’m considering. Also I’m keen to get started.
As I live way up in the north of England and as with many things in the U.K. all of the stockists (and even harp makers) are a long way from here so I’m doing most of my choosing online. Of course this is where the help of your good selves is invaluable, so thanks for giving me more great food for thought.
