Nice meeting you Carl Swanson and thank you for your input!
How would you approach an issue like this? I am calling two other dealers and see what percentage of discount they’d offer and go from there, and see if my dealer can match that. But I haven’t heard back from neither stores.
They wouldn’t have offered any discount if I hadn’t mentioned that. All this makes me wonder if they are even truthful about what they are selling and if I should trust them for years to come. I know it’s business, but great music can be achieved when the trust cis at the base of the relationship.
If I negotiate, I don’t want to be contentious or threatening. If anybody knows a better approach, would you teach me how? What do you think, Carl? You have more experience in purchasing harps and you might now how harp dealers work, I am completely new in this field:{
Thank you for reading!
Ellen, I looked up where I should go to try out Dusty Strings, and it happened to be so close to where I live! (Seattle area.) So I’ll definitely go try them out. Thank you!
Gena, I went to Venus harp website, and I couldn’t find lever harps. Do they make lever harps? Was I just in the wrong page? I only have one friend who plays the harp, and she said that’s what she has and she loves it. It’s amazing that the instrument is as old as 25 years and still have great sound!!! I’ve read the old post and found out the strings need time to ‘mellow.’ That could explain why an super old harp can cost as much as a new one!
Thank you ladies for your advice!!
Thank you Frances, Elizabeth, and Tony!!! Thank you so much for the advice and your knowledge!! Tony, I really appreciate you filling me in on L&H harp. Yes, the guy did sound a bit too biased since he didn’t spend any minute explaining why L&H was also great. Thank you again for all these facts, I really need it so when I do make the decision I can feel good about my investment. Please feel free to write again if you come up with more things that I ought to know about Camac or L&H lever harps.
