I will ask Dr. Ortiz. Maybe he can create an ISO file and
share it on a file server for direct download.
(On PC there is no problem for any DVD using with option “region free”.)You say you have several (DVDs) on basic methods.
Could you list which ones, or which particularly you recommend?
And for advanced techniques: Any further proposal for DVDs etc.?
(We are always speaking about methods/techniques for South American harps.)Thanks again!

Screening the internet I found that are existing two old VHSs, an edition from 1984, and (I suppose the same material) two DVDs from 2006:
– Basic method for all non-pedal harps
– Special effects for pedal and non-pedal harpsBut where did you get it from?
As far as I could find (or better: not find) no shop sells them.- This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by digait.

Well, the decision is made and soon, Gustavo Arias will begin building our harp! As it should have a warm tone, soundboard and soundbox shall be of Red Cedar.
We hope that the harp will arrive in time for Christmas!
From Dr. Alfredo Ortiz, I just downloaded one of his sheetmusic collections, Rhythmic Collection 3. Thus, my wife can already start with Latin American patterns – playing on her pedal harp.
It is a single action pedal harp with medium tension nylon strings and therefore, the feeling of playing is somewhat closer than playing a classic double action pedal harp. And with a weight of about 20-22 kg, it’s possible to use it for street music. If you are interested:
