Hi Kay,
I have one of those small models that sit on the floor made by Hunter (the evaoporative type) and it has what they call a “perma-wick filter” its in a plastic frame and when it gets deposits or dirty I soak it in hot water and vinegar then rinse it clean. It saves $ too not having the type that you have to buy all those expensive filter wicks.. as for the water I add some antibacterial humidifier liquid they sell at the big box stores and haven’t had any residue or odors. Just clean the tank with fresh water and a little bleach swished around every other week just to make sure.
If your water is hard/full of minerals you can try distilled water from the grocery store in jugs, my piano has a special humidification sysytem inside and I need to use that or I get white mineral dust inside it with the local hard water.
Hope this helps…
-ChrisHi Madelyn,
I have a Venus Encore and it’s actually the second harp I have purchased from them since 1996. The tone, quality, evenness, craftsmanship and stability are excellent, I would recommend you try their harps and don’t agree that they are not quality instruments. I do agree with Eliza, the best way to determine what is right for you is to go play any harp in person. Every harp is unique even two identical models made by the same manufacturer may sound different due to the natural properties of the wood.
No matter which manufacturer you decide on you are the one that will be playing it and your opinion of how it looks, sounds and feels matters most. Best of luck on finding a harp!
