they seem very difficult to play to me from appearances, but worth looking into more.

Jessica, I don’t want to see a picture of your harp because of the Ram’s head, I was hoping to see it because I love the old Antique harps and the Erard’s are especially gorgeous.

[deb-l]

I wish I hadn’t said I regret buying this harp.

[deb-l]

well, I think it’s a lovely design, and it’s too bad there’s no name to describe it.

[deb-l]

maybe this will help, description on the Chamber harp from Mr. Pratt’s website ‘which has a straight fluted or
faceted column, and a “ram’s head” style rounded front to the neck, above the
top of the column’

[deb-l]

I understand the different between ram’s head and scroll top now.

Madame Cadilac also has this oval shaped Capital, that is a french style right?

[deb-l]

the Capital, on Pratt harps they have an oval rather than a column shaped piece.

[deb-l]

so now am I using the term French Style wrong?

[deb-l]

I thought the rams heads were shaped french style like the scroll tops, thanks for explaining, very confusing.

[deb-l]

I think you do mean Madame Cadilac?

[deb-l]

so does that mean the Pratt Dauphine is a scroll top because of the applied carvings of leaves and flowers?

[deb-l]

I don’t think I could choose a ‘best sounding’ harp because I like different harps for different reasons.

[deb-l]

hi Jessica, sounds like I have been using the term inaccurately, thanks for pointing that out.

hi Alissa, I am in New Hartford, in Litchfield County, the NW part of the state.
