Hi to all,

Here’s info on that Antiques Road Show video, a picture of the harp, and the actual video (on Firefox, I needed to download a plug-in to view the video in HQ).

Antiques Road Show – Harp

Brian,

Here’s an idea that seems like it should work.

Adam, Too bad about the Jordan levers-lack of sustain is an obvious dealbreaker.

[michael-rockowitz]

Deb, thanks!

Tony-Some additional info.

Deb,
Maybe the best place to find out about Argent Fox cross-strungs would be at the yahoo group “harperscrossing.”

[michael-rockowitz]

Deb, I tune my harp daily, and I find that this happens quite often with my Xythia cross-strung as well, particularly with the middle and higher range of strings.

Hi all,
The english language title is “The moon represents my heart.”

Ben,
Welcome to this group.

[michael-rockowitz]

Saul,

I entirely concede that I don’t know how long it takes to develop “astonishing facility” (whatever that really is).

[michael-rockowitz]

Nancy,

Here are some videos of double strung harp playing (I had never actually seen one played).

Saul, I think that, apart from what you think things should be like ideally, free market principles apply.

Hi to all,

I’ve since done some on-line research on the Rotarians.

[michael-rockowitz]

Hi Saul,

What’s the reasoning behind your position?

Michael

[michael-rockowitz]

I attend a harp meetup group, to which I bring my 5/7 Blevins Xythia cross-strung.

I think this thread started out innocently enough, with Renate asking a perfectly reasonable question.
