Rouet by Hasselmans has always sounded Halloweenish to me and is easy to play.
helen-ruddParticipantWhen I lived in VT.I use to go to this ren fair several times a year. It was HUGE back then and I can only imagine how much it has grown in the past 15 years. It is amazingly fun, especially if you just let yourself go with the flow.
helen-ruddParticipantNot me! But I have come across a few on youtube.
Erin Hill-Mixes sci-fi lyrics with the harp, very neat songs on her website.

Try Giant Mushrooms and Silver feet on her site, so great! Especially Silver Feet-my new favorite xmas song.Gillian Grassie-

Harp and Cello-Version of Adele’s Rolling in the deep.

helen-ruddParticipantVanderbilt publishes you could try contacting them to see if they would be interested. You could also self-pub a la Angi Bemiss, she appears to have been very successful at it.
helen-ruddParticipantI have been shopping around for cars as well (and harps for that matter!) Currently I have just a small 85p l&h but I plan on getting a concert grand some time in the near future. I have been looking at the Subaru Forrester and the Outback. Does anyone currently use those cars? Do they work well for the larger harps?
helen-ruddParticipantThere are two pieces that were arranged for harp although I am not sure how hard they would be on lever.

Thank you, Helenhelen-ruddParticipantShelby,
For furniture you could try tin foil. My cats were clawing everything and for a few weeks I covered all their favorite scratching spots with tinfoil. It stopped them quickly but I left it on for a while and provided a tantalizing sissal (sp?) tree for them to claw instead and they’ve never gone back to the couch, chairs and sideboard they used to delight in ripping to shred.helen-ruddParticipantKreig,
She is awesome! She often uses many harps in her songs and when she is
on stage she tours with a number of harps and harpists. I can’t recall which live song, but there is one she did with 4 or 6 harps on stage and in acrylic circles above the stage, very neat.January 14, 2011 at 7:50 pm in reply to: Valse des Ondines – Cecile Corbel – my latest song addiction #157963helen-ruddParticipantGot it yesterday! Boy that was a long time coming. I love the Turkish Air piece, although it does not seem to have definitive ending. Have you played around with it? I can’t tell if it is the same piece she has up on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4gKjLa0G0A
Once you get past the slow part in the beginning it sounds very like this I think although I am not playing it up to speed so I can’t really tell.
I also like the Ladino piece. Very beautiful. She has some interesting fingering.helen-ruddParticipantSaul,
I would have agreed with you completely sight unseen thinking there is no way that a harp that was not all wood would sound at all acceptable….then I started taking lessons with a new instructor who teaches at a school that has a Camac. The first time I touched it I asked her why it sounded so good. How I could get so much sound out of it with so little pressure and why the upper and lower registers were equally beautiful (no muddiness in the lower register and no tinky/tinny upper register) If this is an example of what carbon fiber can do for a harp I am all for it. I would also be interested in a carbon fiber pedal harp for playing outdoors. I love to sit on my porch and play but can only do so for a couple months out of the year because of the weather here in western PA. -
