    I’m not sure you can have two different names from the same house for the harp column, but I do know you can be online at the same time under two different screenames.

    Hi Ken,

    Well, I had the Anne first so that was what I learned on and I still like to practice

    Hi Ken,

    I have the Anne, which does have a great sound for it’s size and I also have the Briar Rose and absolutely love it. Both harps are cherry and in the brochure Stoney End sent me it said that the Briar Rose would have a mellow tone

    This is really a reply to #3 and #4.

    #3 ‘It’s not a matter of one instrument being better than another. It is a matter of choosing the most appropriate tool for the job. What is the point of playing O’Carolan music on a pedal harp if you have a lever harp that it can be played on just as well but is more portable, less difficult or expensive to maintain,

    I totally agree with you, Saul , about the no fingernails and trying to open packages especially new cds. The other problem is keeping my fingernails short enough to play. I have only been playing for about 9 months now but my fingernails just aren’t adapting to being kept so short. I can’t clip them anymore because when I do I cut that sensitive skin under the nail and does it ever hurt. I am now reduced to filing the heck out of them and callousing my fingertips more from the file than my harp strings. My husband’s nails seem to stay short with no clipping or filing has this happened to anyone else and if so do you have any tips on how to keep them from growing so fast?
