Hi Deb! I am quoting from Christina’s Book Cradle of sound with regards to tension. Page 80 “The tension needs to be lighter than most harps. Tight-tensioned strings produce a tone too bright for the confort of many patients, especially when played at bedside. Patients on morphine drip are especially sensitive to the bright sounds of a harp with tight tension. Listen for

Actually Christina wrote that in her book Cradle of Sound! Thanks so much for all of the feedback. I too am looking at enrolling in the her harp therapy program. My instructor has almost completed it (she has a degree in psychology, a bachelor of music and a bachelor in Music Therapy. If figure if she is impressed with it the program must be pretty good.) As I am working full time I want to start working on the pieces but probably not enroll for a year or so.

Hi Michaela! How is the string spacing? Similar to your full size? And do you know the how much your Nightingale weights

[Karen Bruce]

We weighed my instructors and it came in about 7.8lbs, so interesting that the stats on the westover would be hirer. Maybe a denser wood?

Thank you Jennifer! My current lap harp is over 9lbs (not fully levered)

I too am interested in this piece if you happen to find it
