That is very generous of you, knowing what you are going through! Hopefully, you will have a Merry Christmas next year and Syria will be at peace.
What a great idea! I wonder whether a tiny piece of masking tape at the very end would also be enough to prevent it from being pulled through the hole.
I brought this out for the 13th and last concert and the orchestra nearly jumped out of their skins when I did the first gliss! It got a great reaction; thanks, David!
I have a filing cabinet, with different categories such as orchestra parts, solo harp pieces, chamber music, chamber music, etc. For each category, the music is filed in the order in which I bought it. At the front of each category is a list with the names and numbers of each piece written on it. This is cross-referenced in a recipe card holder (small box). In the recipe card box, there are little alphabetical dividers. Under “B”, there is a recipe card for each composer whose name begins with “B”. For example, I have a card labelled “Bartok” in section “B”, and the card has the names and numbers of every orchestra part that I have by Bartok. This makes it very fast and easy to find music, but also to add to the collection.
These are some live performances from The Festival of the Sound in 2010. They sent me the MP3’s and my son helped me add a photo on top.

Oh, I just read this again and I see that there wasn’t a part in the original. You know, it would still be fun to have this for the last concert of a long run of Christmas concerts.
Wow! We’ve been playing Sleigh Ride for years and I never knew that there was supposed to be a harp part. It must have been lost years ago and never replaced.
I’ll email you for sure! Thanks, David!I just bought a 2012 Prius V. Before putting down the deposit, my husband and put the harp and dolly into the car and there’s plenty of room. The gas mileage on these cars is just amazing.
I just purchased a Prius V, which fits my concert grand Style 23 plus the harp dolly and bench. The gas mileage is excellent!
I gave him the measurements of my concert grand, a LH Style 23. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but someone on another harpmobile thread said that she fits her concert grand Venus into a Prius.
My wonderful Honda Odyssey needs a new transmission, so I am looking for a new vehicle. I went into Toyota today and learned that the new Prius V will have more room, and the back will be more square than the last model. In a couple of weeks, the first ones will be arriving at the car lot! I told the salesman the harp’s measurements, and he said that would fit into the current model of the Prius.
There is also a wonderful two-harp-and castanet version of Spanish Dance #1 by Patty Masri-Fletcher. If your daughter loves Spanish music and dance, she should also look for flamenco videos on Youtube to get a sense of the style.
