ParticipantHi Eliza,
I’m also a big fan of the look of the Javelot. Have never had the opportunity to hear one, though. I’d love to know more about its tone. Have you ever heard one played?If I were in the market for another lever harp I would buy a Dusty Strings 36S in bubinga with Camac levers.

ParticipantWow, it’s good to know that this kind of thing can happen. My teacher always taught me not to practice in bare feet. I never got into the habit of it and am glad I didn’t!

ParticipantI’m so glad to hear that you’re feeling better!!

ParticipantKay,
Are you feeling any better?

ParticipantThank you, Carl, for your wonderful contribution to the classical literature of the harp!

ParticipantI second Sid’s post. Anderson has been great for me!

ParticipantAND, those crazy people with the cameras shooting through the strings, up my nose
I had to laugh at that comment. I can definitely relate!

ParticipantPhysical therapy helped me out a lot with some pain I was having in my neck, so I’m really glad that you’ll be seeing your therapist. I hope that you feel better soon!! Hugs, Jer

ParticipantDoes anyone own one of these yet? I’d like to hear opinions of its tone and projection. I’m also wondering if its light weight vs. its 74″ height causes any balance problems.
It’s great that you can add a highly-figured design to the carbon fiber material; however, from the photos I’ve seen thus far, the clunky aspect of the column and base detract from the aesthetic for me.

ParticipantBrittany,
Was that for a one-time event or for an extended number of dates? I was also curious if the hotel hired you for lobby background music or for something else? (I live in Arizona.)

ParticipantI would like to echo the thoughts of the previous posters. South Texas is fortunate to have you as a wedding harpist!

ParticipantCarl,
It might not have helped with her but establishing a better human connection might help in the future with ethical clients who are “on the fence” about hiring a harpist.Jerusha Amado
ParticipantThere should be a piece called the Vexed Harpist that we can play after things like this. I agree, Jimmy!

ParticipantI was thinking more about what Kay said concerning using only phone and contracts. I wonder if there is more of a connection that’s created when people use the phone such that they would be more inclined to honor their promises as opposed to when the medium of communication is email, which is more impersonal?
Jerusha Amado
ParticipantIn this case, when you get an email agreement without the immediate backup of a signed contract and a deposit, do not turn down other offers for the same date.
Good advice, Carl. Thank you!
