I have been using the Dusty Strings Musician’s Stool for both my pedal harps, as well as all of my lever harps.

It is similar to the TAMA seat mentioned in the previous posts, but I have found that this particular muscian’s stool to be:
1. Light weight and portable
2. Useable (at least for me) for both pedal and lever harps
3. Able to “get close” to the harp without infringing on the boundaries of a pedal harp or staved-back of a celtic harp
4. Extremely comfortable for those very, very long gigs.
Best,

Instant messaging is great for getting questions answered quickly, however from what I’ve seen in the thread “Where Are You?”

In response to your questions:
1. Yes, Certified Therapeutic Musicians can and do seek paid positions. They are available, and each program has affiliations through various hospitals, hospices,etc. If one does the research, or contacts each program (belonging to the NSBTM), one can view the affiliations, and assistance with placement.
Travelling on an airplane with a therapy harp can be tricky; the ultimate decision is up to the ground crew. If they say it has to be checked, it has to be checked.
I have owned several therapy harps of different sizes.
I once owned all the Heartland Harps. They are very nice instruments because:
1. They are light-weight
2. Have Concert String Spacing
3. Can be ordered in any combination of wood and designs
4. Have a 10-year warranty
5. Pamela and Dave are the greatest people to work with!
The Serenity is a lovely, light-weight harp. What is really interesting about that harp is the curve. If you wear it with the strap, the curve fits your body in such a way that the weight is so evenly distributed that I, personally, did not feel any heavy weight on any particular joint at all!
Hi … I would be happy to …

Hi All,
I am a Certified Therapeutic Harp Practitioner (CTHP), a Graduate of the International Harp Therapy Program.
After I was classically trained on my first pedal harp, a L&H 85E, I started to acquire lever harps, for the smaller venues, and to learn about lever harps.
