thank you very much Saul, I’ll have a look at the books you referenced.

[deb-l]

not too long at all, thanks for sharing your experiences!

Ken, Mandolin is good for irish fiddle tunes, my favorite Carolans on mando are Morgan Megan and Sir Charles Coote.

Ken, you always make me feel like dusting off my Carolan’s Receipt book!

Gillian, It sounds as though you are a perfectionist and that is why you preferred your second teacher, however, it doesn’t sound as though she was a good fit for you since she wouldn’t let you get past the first piece and that’s when the tension started.

[deb-l]

Saul, I re-read your words a couple times and will do so again.

Jennifer, it makes sense that a warmer sound is more soothing, that’s what confused me, because unless I’m mistaken, most higher tension gut strung harps have a warmer sound than most lower tension nylon.

Michaela, why should a therapy harp have lighter tension?

[deb-l]

they are all good makes of harp, listen to what they sound like and go with the one that you like best.

[deb-l]

maybe listen to youtube videos of easier level songs that you love, find a song that you really want to play, be kind to yourself and enjoy the sound of the instrument, remember it’s for your enjoyment not something you need to do perfectly.

[deb-l]

harp guy, take it from someone older and wiser.

[deb-l]

there’s a classified section, perhaps you want to list your harp there?

[deb-l]

Kreig, I’ve always thought people who have a beautiful voice to have the best instrument.

[deb-l]

your certainly not to old to learn how to play harp very well.

[deb-l]

I think he got that the pan pipes were the earliest piano because
they came before organs, which came before piano’s, at least according
to this article.
