A quick reply,…May God bless you all for helping! When I studied with the late Francis Miller at the University of Minnesota, in those days,
Adam, You are way cool! May I strongly encourage you in all your efforts. I have my own ideas about the harp, but isn’t that what life is all about(?), new ideas.
Could you please tell me how you bought it and how you got monthly payments?
Sadly, those five years
I would recommend that you back down the tension a little for the top maybe four octaves when you are done playing for the evening., maybe a third of a turn. It is very disconcerting (please pardon the pun) to hear strings pop in the night! Maybe there could be a piece written Titled, “Pop in the Night!”
Very sincere best wishes, Mr. Zlatkovski! I studied with Francis Miller for years! Might you have some input for me to posess an, at the very least, first rate pedal harp? Mildred Dilling would have been very approving. She would lead me by the hand and make me sit down and play her personal harp!
A first rate way to organize most things is with an alphabetical file, by title of the piece, or by author and the the title of the piece. Put the work or your work immediately back in the file when finished. Best Wishes!
My very humble two cents worth would be to have someone tune her harp well,several times to get a tolerable pitch, and then have her use her thumbs to gently create fairly well defined descending glisses, with the right and left hands alternating on the same note, played slowly, and then descend to the next string, and repeat the same, so R234,L234,R234,L234,etc., and concentrate on the fulfillment of the beautiful sounds of the four strings played in a descending gliss, and then come up from where she descended to with perhaps a combination of the third and fourth fingers, or all four fingers of each hand depending on
