Wup! Wup! She’s a beauty! I hope Bill finishes her quickly so that he can start on mine. He told me the other day that he expects to start mine in a week or two…
BTW-I may have seen this harp while it was still “naked.” I stopped by to talk to Bill about two or three weeks ago and saw this model without any stain or gilding on it.
Hi Mary –
I was at the Harp Gathering too. I thought that the sound of that Heartland harp would be attractive to jazz players. I hope that I remember to ask them at next year’s Harp Gathering if they have sold many.
This is so COOL! I love it when there’s a “new arrival.” We’re waiting for pictures and more news!!!
When I had my L&H 85 delivered from Vanderbuilt, the driver unpacked it for me, checked it over, then asked me my Prelude’s name, and gently packed it up. He was a real sweetheart!
I can’t wait to hear about your first day with the new arrival!!!
We has quite remarkable. However, the sound technician could have done a better job with the mic and/or mix
I think anything from the movies is good (themes from Titanic and Somewhere in Time come to mind), because
You’re has been mine from the start with the harp. I’ve played several instruments over the years, and haven’t had this problem until now.
At The Harp Gathering this year, I took a workshop by Frank Voltz called, The Geography of the Harp. It has worked wonders for me! The important thing is to learn to play without looking at your hands, and keep your eyes on the music. I can’t explain well how to do it, but I learn music much, much more quickly now. All I can say is try hard not to look at your hands.
Frank will be back at the Harp Gathering next spring, and he does other workshops. If you have the opportunity – GO!!! You will absolutely amazed.
I have a Swaroffsky (sorry about the spelling) harp. It’s only about two inches tall, but it’s loverly!
Every time a string has broken for me, it was when I was not playing – except once, and that time the string hit me square in the glasses. If I wasn’t wearing them, it would have hit me in the eye!
The funniest string break happened one evening when we were watching TV. One of my Shelties liked to sleep cuddled up to my pedal harp which was in another room. We heard the loud “Bong-g-g-g!” of a lower register string break, and the dog ran like lightning into our room and hid behind the couch.
