Since you’ve already got it, would you mind answering a few questions about it?

I certainly hope so, because we just got asked to reprise it on the 7th.

For those who were wondering, I made it through the performance.

That’s exactly how I’ve been holding it, too.

I was supposed to be background accompaniment while another instrument (recorder) carried the melody.

His teething is why the harp is stored, hanging out of reach, in a closet with a closed door, in a hall behind a baby gate where he isn’t allowed to go unaccompanied.

Figures.

Rees shipped out the strings, and my apartment complex received the package.

…and now, after a second email (I never had a chance to call during business hours, so I tried another email) I’ve gotten a response from Garen, who seems to answer all the email.

I’m sorry to here [sic] of the strange burrs on the strings. I’m not sure what would have caused them as we have never experienced this problem before. It was probubly [sic] just a few bad strings that we received from Robinson’s harp shop. For your trouble I have sent you a free set of extra strings that should arrive within 3-5

Yes, I would very much like to know the follow-up from Rees.

So would I.

For those people who requested follow-up on the matter….

I’ve now met with my soon-to-be instructor (Eva Murphy), and she’s never seen anything like these burrs, either.

I bought my harpsicle direct from Rees, so it would all go direct to him.

I’ve just taken a much closer look.

This isn’t the sort of roughness that I’d get if some varnish had gotten on the strings.

Well, the actual hearing loss is almost certainly permanent.

No, I’m not — and I’ve actually never heard of them.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve got in mind: Work hard to get to the point where I can progress on my own.
