ParticipantHi Ruth,
I have two that I use, and they are very easy.

ParticipantNeat looking harp Deb! How many strings is it? And, does it have levers?.

ParticipantHi Deb,
The link to the Loreena McKennitt performance of Bonny Portmore on YouTube is:

ParticipantDeb, I think O’Carolan’s music would sound lovely on your Prelude, especially when you consider that he was greatly influenced by the Baroque period of his time, and quite a few of his pieces have that “flavor” to them, and don’t necessarily require a “celtic”-style harp.
And, a couple of my favorite YouTube videos are, “Bonny Portmore”, (Loreena McKennitt), and “Piano and harp duet live in Cafe Cossachok” (Catriona McKay & Phil Alexander), the tune is “Forest Baby”……cheers, Gloria

Participant….whoops! I meant to say that it has the “better” Loveland levers…..

ParticipantHi Deb,
It looks to be in good shape, but it does not have a veneer over the soundboard, which is not a bad thing, just cosmetic.

ParticipantDitto! at least that’s what my dad taught me…

ParticipantYes, only time will tell, which one…personally, I play primarily Celtic style music, so the Dusty works quite well for that…good luck with your choice..

Participantlucky you! going to Harp Connection….I purchased my D.S.36S from them, and they’re great to work with…and you’ll love the Triplett Signature…another phenomenal tone on that harp….have fun!….

ParticipantHi Kelly,
My 30 string Triplett harp has an adequate amount of strings for most of the pieces that I play, but it is not my primary harp.

ParticipantHi Kelly,
When I bought my nine year-old cherry Triplett (30 string) harp from Sylvia Woods’ last year, the soundboard was slightly raised, and I questioned her about this, because I was concerned too. She just replied, “that’s a good thing when the harp’s soundboard is coming up, it improves the tone”..and sure enough, the tone on this harp is indeed very deep and rich sounding and it’s still in great shape today, with no problems!…hope that helps…..Gloria

ParticipantNo, I couldn’t tell the difference at all!
