Hi!
Yes, we did end up getting a harp and I absolutely love it! We went to a showroom where I played the 85 and the daphne and whilst I fell in love with both (I loved the mellow tone of the 85 whilst the Daphne was so lovely and bright) I couldn’t justify the extra money for the 85 when the daphne was so beautiful.
I’m so lucky to own my own harp, and can’t wait to take it with me to university when I start in 2 weeks!
Wow he’s so talented! This is one of my favourites to play on piano and he’s converted it to harp so beautifully. You must be so proud!
Thanks everyone for the replies, you’ve all helped so much! I do live in the UK, and part of the reason I’m able to get a harp issue to the assisted purchase scheme. I’m now looking into the possibility of maybe getting an 85 (depending on my parents, they’re loaning me the money until I can begin paying them back!). Using the assisted purchase scheme, it would bring the cost of an 85 down by about £4,500 which is obviously a huge opportunity that would be a shame to waste. We’re just concerned in case the constant moving around of a harp which comes as a part of being a student may prematurely decrease the lifespan of the harp, although I obviously will be taking every measure to keep the harp in perfect condition. Do any of you guys have any experience relating to harps losing quality due to moving them around? x
