    The only complaint I have about multiple postings is the search engine they use is too limiting. I’d be more apt to use it if I could type in keywords and find what i want. I don’t have the time quite frankly to go slumming through page after page after page of posts to find something. That’s my only beef with the site.

    A Dodge Magnum will fit a Concert Grand quite nicely. To the poster that had issues with a Concert Grand, not sure what you were doing but a CG does fit. If you like the taurus wagon check out the Ford Freestyle, it’s a cross over between a Wagon and SUV and has loads of room for harp related activities.

    Shari,

    I live in the Columbus area. Depending on the date you need the harp I’d be more than happy to drive down and let you use my harp for a fee of course. Contact me if you’re still in need.

    I agree you get what you can pay for. If you’re a student learning you don’t want to be learning on something that buzzes left and right, that won’t hold it’s pitch and any assortment of issues. Yes you get a lowcost rental but whoever said harp learning harp is cheap? I applaud the individuals that charge considerably less than large companies and send out instruments in very good condition.

    Meghan,

    There are a lot of options available to harpist today. With new models coming out every year it seems the possiblities are endless. If you’re wanting to stay away from minivans and wagons why not consider a cross over vehicle? Chrysler makes a lovely Pacifica which is a cross over. Ford has a delightful Freestyle which is a cross over. Nissan makes a bad ass murano. Dodge makes the magnum and even though it’s

    Seriously do your homework and consider what you’re getting yourself into. I rented from Budget quite some years ago and I ended up with a very very old Lyon and Healy that was in serious need of regulation among other things. I recently rented from Carl Swanson and I can’t say enough about him! Call him and see what he has available.

    I don’t believe Rosemary ever said Venus outright. She may have beat around the bush but she never came out and said it. I didn’t suggest banning Denise for good but a temporary ban. It puts people in their place. Would you like your personal business of finances and such for all to see on a public forum? Most likely not.

    I’m sorry but if Kim Rowe is the moderator she seriously needs to do a better job of moderating these forums. Asking people to stay on topic nicely doesn’t seem to get the job done. Perhaps if she enforced it with temporary bans from the website? The first person I would start with is Denise Krasicki. Airing someone’s business for all to see on a public forum is not the way to go. Denise dear, karma is a terrible thing and it will surely come back to you ten fold!

    Oh my friends, when I am dead and gone, hang the little harp there behind the altar where on the wall the shimmering half light catches the funeral wreaths of many departed. Then the good sexton will show the harp to visitors, stirring it to sound as he touches the red riband that hangs from the harp and floats beneath the golden strings. “Often” he says in wonder, “at sunset the strings unbidden murmur like humming bees; the children, called hither from the churchyard, have heard it, and seen the wreaths aquiver”

    Is that a polite way of saying some women flop outa their tops? I’m clueless at reading between the lines, I’m best served with blunt and straight to the point things 🙂
