    I agree with Riley,
    I`m a beginner but I`m glad that for the first months I forced myself to use the “right” position.
    At the beginning it may seems very unconfortable, but after a while it`a lot easier, trust me!

    AFTER learning a good technique you can maybe see what it fits better for you, for example even almost after a year I cannot place the left hand like the teacher told me or like I see in some “pro” videos, it just hurt my wrist after a while, maybe because I have very long fingers?
    I don`t know, but it the end I now keep the left hand in a more relaxed position and not like the school teach….for now I haven`t encoutnered major problems, but as I said I`m just a beginner.

    Let`s say that having this Russian 46 is making me understand how beautiful is my Ravenna 26…
    Are all Gut strings harps SO hard to play? the strings require lot of strenght to make an almost decent sound, and for some pieces where I need to move the finger a bit faster I just can`t give them strenght enough.

    And the pedal are so clunky, I wonder if I`ll ever be able to change them during a piece…

    In the end I`m a bit disappointed, but for sure these 2 months of renting will be a good experience

    Yes, she was really kind and helpful but unfortunately she just have one really big harp for intermediate-advanced players.

    There is an incredible shortage of harps 🙁

    Hi Patricia,

    Piligrim has an infinite waiting list 🙂 , Morley harps is the only one with some harps available, and I can see why…their harps are good, the service is good and fast, but their renting prices are much expensive than any other shops in europe, and I`m not talking about a few pound more… I`m talking about hundreds of pounds more than other shops.

    By the way, it`s really interesting what you say, I didn`t know that at the Edimburgh Festival (which is from the 30th march to the 4th april from what I see on the website) I could find someone for rental possibilities…I`ll think about it!

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Well, I hope some day I`ll have both a pedal and a lever harp 🙂 but for now I`m in that period where I have to find what suits better for me.

    I want to try the pedal harp mainly because most of the pieces I`d like to play are piano pieces and they told me that probably a pedal harp would be the best choice.
    I don`t know if it`s completely true, maybe a big lever harp would be enough…but I`d like to try anyway 🙂

    Thank you

    Hi,

    I`m sorry but I can`t find this sheet.
    I have a lever harp (Dusty String Ravenna 26 string) and I`m searching a sheet for this song, but I can only find hard piano versions.

    Thank you

    Daniele
