how lucky you both are to both share your enjoyment of playing the harp together!

Saul, by heavy gauge, do you mean Pirastro Pedal Nylon or is there something else?

[deb-l]

sorry for the double post, but meant to say, that using pedal nylon for octaves 4 and up is not just more cost effective but pedal nylon is slightly lower tension than pedal gut, and a brighter sound, well suited for folk music, in my opinion.

I have a similar setup as Tony’s Folk harp on my Dauphine.

Adventure is right Ken!

I noticed that the older Troubadours were strung with nylon rather than gut.

[deb-l]

I felt I could the difference between gut strung and nylon models but maybe it was my imagination, or maybe it’s because I’ve been going back and forth between the two a lot lately and have gotten sensitive to the difference.

Jerusha, Lets just say I practice singing with harp when no one is home, but it is painful even to my ears!

ha ha .. guess you couldn’t pry your fingers from the strings!!

hi Michael,

I strung with lower tension strings for the bass too, at Mr Pratt’s suggestion.

[deb-l]

Mr Pratt mentioned that he didn’t recall them ever putting in the wooden dowels in this harp that run sideways from the kneeblock into the neck.

It’s not classical but I’d love to take a class with Deborah Henson-Conant and see her perform.

Can you trade in a Salvi Ana through the bounty program for a L&H?
