YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the surgery will help
NO I don’t wear heals because my feet are too small
I’m a size 2&1/2 in kids shoos & I’m NOT making this up
I’m not shore what kind of CP I’ve got but… some days are better than others especially when I’m practicing harp & or on my TV/computer
Having CP can be a real pain in the harmonic curve”neck”
Lets just say if I don’t get the surgery & if I bend over to get something off the floor I could FALL over & NOT be able to get up on my own without somebody to help me back onto my feet
Thats already happened to me where I was getting out of the eleaveter & I tripped over sombodyelses foot & thankfully he was there to help pick me up
So now you can see why everyday I could fall & NOT be able to get back up on my feet
BTW I don’t use a music stand
I can’t see enough to read music
I have to go by ear & memory
I’ve got to mack my TV/computer screen bigger just to type & for reading I use voiceover on my iPhone & iPadLets just put say I’m in need of a reduction
That’s why I need the surgery & thats why my back is always KILLING me
BTW I’ve looked up Telynau Telfi & had some luck
thanks for the help & prayers
you got the youtube link right but…
you need to give me the rest of that linkI do have an adjustable harp bench
Please pray for me hopefully I’ll be going under the knife by the end of July
My back is absolutely killing me & I need surgery to help
This will help me NOT feel so squashed under my harps
Don’t worry I’m still going to have the PT to strengthen my BAD back,neck,shoulders & legsIf I lower my bench 1 notch than it’s too low & NO it’s NOT a bench that you can raise by turning it
I’ve got one of those long benches for my harp & it’s a pain in the harmonic curve to raise & lower
Hmmmmmmm I can’t seem to find that youtube video on how to carry a lever harp
Can you give me the link to that video
Remember I’m 4ft.6in. tall & the tallest harp I’ve got is 6ft. tall & she has a big beautiful sound
My lever harp is at least a foot taller than me & she has a CELTIC soundNO I haven’t found the balance point
I did get my bench raised but… now I can’t reach that DARN A pedal on my harp
I’m going to have PT soon
It also hurts when I even bend over to put on & take off my shoes
I was looking for the style 85 XP harp instead of the GP harp but L&H quit making that model & I don’t see them for sail online unless I must be blind
Both my harps are a lot toiler than me
Thank God I know someone who can help me with getting my musicals to relax & not be so DARN tight
She’s an excellent masseuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s helped keep my mild CP under control
& yes she is learning to play harp thanks to me helping her outWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok now I want a style 11
But… Unfortunately I’d flat as a pancake if I had that harp
But it would match my necklaceDue to my BAD balance I can’t leave the building that I live in
I’ll get my bench raised your probably right about it being too low
But I’m still looking for some simple exercises to help strengthen my back, neck & shoulders The biggest harp I’ve got is the Style 85 Grand Petite & the smallest harp I’ve got is a Shamrock lever harp
Both harps come from L&H
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don’t think I’ve found the balance point for my harpsI’d love to have the Venus Classic Concert harp in cherry &
natural because thats the one my harp teacher has & it sounds
as good as it looks
But… Unfortunately it’s too big & too heavy for me
Still I just love the sound of that harp
BTW has any one herd the style 11 gold harp in concert
or on CD I’m just curiousUnfortunately I cannot read braille
We tried it when I was younger but with CP it’s a challenge
So we recorded on my iPad and I listen to it
That’s how I learned right now
But unfortunately my eyes are getting weaker
The older I get the weaker they areToo bad I can’t see
Do you guys think you would have an
audio book version
BTW I use voice over on my iPhone and iPad to read
these posts and I use dictation on my iPhone
If it’s an PDF or MP3 I might be
able to meet with voiceoverMy dream Harp is the style 11 and gold
That would match perfectly with one of my harp necklace
I guess you could say I have expensive tasteSometimes I do practice in bare feet because of
the circulation in my feet not being the greatest
But luckily I never had that happen
