ParticipantHi Kay, that’s very normal because there is something that you want to achieve and that is to be the best in what you do. So keep it up and don’t worry about it too much!

ParticipantI prefer smaller shows, because they allow for more personal contact between you and the bride. At larger shows (with 500+ brides and family members in attendance) there’s barely enough time to strike up a conversation as they’re busy picking up your brochures and grabbing handfuls of candy from your table.
I’ve done one show which I would consider “medium” in size (with about 300-400 brides), and I hired an assistant for the day. It was the best decision I’d ever made, because once my table was flooded with people, it freed me up to play and answer questions while she took care of the prize giveaways and handed out brochures and business cards.
It would be hard for me to justify the cost of one of the larger bridal expos, because I have about all the work I can handle based on traffic from other sources (online marketing, etc.). Besides the registration, you have to think about linen rentals, printing of marketing materials, and the cost of any signs, display cases, picture frames, flowers, candy (believe me, they LOVE candy) that you need to spruce up your table. That means the cost of one show can easily add up to over $1000.
I’d rather stick to smaller shows that are venue-based, where it doesn’t cost as much to exhibit, and you get more quality time with your potential customers.

ParticipantWOW! I had never even heard about Webster. But how could you choose? I was going crazy just viewing the different models. Do you know of any sound clips?
It’s so fun when a harpist is “expecting”-we get to share that spirit! Harp heart-to-heart.

ParticipantHi all,
my name is Natalia, I am a koto player. Koto is Japanese analogue of Gu Zheng. I`m interested in a Gu Zheng construction. Do it has any “dragon” names of its body parts? F.e., “dragon`s head”, ” dragon tales” and so on (like a japanese koto)? If no, what the names of its parts? Please, help!
Thanks,
NataliaHBrock25
ParticipantElizabeth,
Were you able to re-write the harp parts? I am facing the same problem for an upcoming performance of this piece.

ParticipantHi Kay!
I stretch up as some have suggested, do shoulder shrugs, bend at the waist and touch the floor without bending my knees and from an outstretched postition, I try to slowly clap my hands behind my back.
I sometimes take ibuprofen either the last hour or before I go to bed.
