Thank you for letting me know, Carl. I may re-order the book rather than scan it into my iPad. Vers La Source came up as a topic on FB so I will spread the word.
Ah, Balfour, it’s heartening to know it’s taken at least a hundred tries, five years, and Carl writing Cb in a book of Tournier’s music for you to understand the concept. Shall we move on to Fb:)
Carl, I received my book about a week ago and have just lightly gone through it. Excellent work and so readable. I hope you will get the overseas distribution issues resolved. It is unfortunate your book is not in pdf format since so many people like me now use an iPad.
I would ask the previous harp owner who the tech is that worked on your harp. Email the tech and ask if you can make a phone appointment to discuss the harp in your possession. You could then find out any information. I would also get copies of any service records. If this is not possible, I would contact Camac or a Camac dealer to find out which strings to use and change them all. Then you know where you starting from.
I am interested to know how your teacher concluded the grace note is G. I listened to Catherine Michel, a world renowned French harpist and instructor, on YouTube and she plays a D. https://youtu.be/Az1mgqJ4O7c
The one I ordered is the Shure X2U adapter. Let me know if you find something else that works. I have the iPad Pro with the C connection, too.
I use a Shure SM81 with my Schertler David amp and church sound systems. It has an XLR connection and a built-in pre-amp. I believe it needs phantom power. The sound quality is phenomenal. This will not help with the iPad, etc. However, there is an adapter so you can use the mic with a computer/iPad but it has been back-ordered for 4 months.
Hey, watch the piano portion before the harp. It is wonderful. Few can play piano and harp equally well.
I cannot think of enough good things to say about your outstanding performance. You played brilliantly – both on piano and harp. Your music selections were perfect. The audio and visuals were excellent. I cannot believe this is only the second time the concert organizers have streamed – so well coordinated. A masterful effort. Brava! Thank you so much for letting HC members know about your successful impromptu recital
You probably have Bow wires on. Record your harp before and after the restringing. I live in Florida so there is no way I will go with wires that could tarnish. And for recording, I need to see the C’s and F’s clearly. Let us know what you think about the Vanderbilt wires. What harp are you restringing?
I have used the colored and non-colored strings. I cannot tell a difference. There has not been a sound difference in test recordings. But, for my Salvi concert grands, the quality in recording is significantly better with Vanderbilt wire and gut strings.
I use the Vanderbilt tarnish resistant wires. I have used Bow and Vanderbilt. Over many years, I never had a buzz with either brand. I think Vanderbilt gives a much cleaner, clear bass sound, especially on a Salvi concert grand. Vanderbilt wires strings, as I understand, are lighter than Bow. But whatever the difference, my Salvi concert grands are much easier to play with Vanderbilt wire strings. I also prefer the colored strings rather than the copper. Is there a reason for going with non-tarnish wire strings?
