    Hmmmmmmmmmmm I use natural daylight & I
    also have all my lights turned on exept
    the 1 that’s too high for me to reach
    But… because of the time change the days are shorter & the nights are longer it’s even harder to see at night when I practice on my harp
    how much do those white strings coast?????????????????????
    Do florescent lights have a baby pink or blue tint to them or are they white & curly???????????
    Are these lights cool to the touch or do they get HOT??????????????

    LOL soooooooooooooo funny
    But… Its nearly impossible to stop the blind from damaging the harp because NOBODY can see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless you some sight

    I Was playing at a concert & at the end of the concert all of the musicians got together to finish the concert & while I was playing my harp like a drum somebody decieded to join in & used his ring on my harps soundboard
    I had to say NO & pushed his hand away from my harp
    Thank God my harp teacher was there to look my harp over & she says that my harp took NO damage to the board
    She also told me that gold harps are more able to have easily damaged soundboards
    Is this true???????????????????????????????

    I’m Romanian by birth so do you think it could be that my family has a history of back problems
    We know nothing about my Romanian family exept that they are gypsies
    I wish I could go to france to see this person about my back but… I’ll need a lot of nonie which I can’t save because I’ll have to move out of where I’m living at & I can’t get out on my own + I can’t see
    BTW at the end of this month I’m going to see a Dr. who can CRACK my back & work on my tight musicals in neck & back

    Hmmmmmmmm I’d have to reright the prelude in C
    because it has the A&D sharp
    I nearly get enough nonie to pey for 2 harp lessons each month so how would I pay for somebody to come & help me with my back?????????????????
    Maby bringing my lever harp up to stay here might be a good idea
    25lbs is a lot better on my back than 69lbs
    But I don’t know much lever harp music
    I’d have to talk to my harp teachers about bringing Gina my pedal harp home & switching her with Emily my lever harp
    Some of Emily’s levers get stuck

    thank GOD I’ve got L&H in my phone
    I’m going to give L&H a call tomorrow & ask about the pedal extenchens just for the A pedal
    I can reach the rest of them with NO problem
    I’ve got 2 harp teachers 1 comes to me & the other I go home to see

    I have 1 of each 1 is a lever harp & the other is a pedal harp which is here with me & the first 1 is at home
    I wish I knew more lever harp music
    I’d have to get a new set of bass wires for my lever harp the harp is going to be 8 years old at the end of november of this year
