All four models you mention are well known and reliable. If the Aoyama 130 has 3 legs instead of four, know that it tips over more easily. Make a chart with the headings: Size, Tone, Price, String range, and Resale Value. As she tries
I agree with the post above, regarding two live teachers. However, exceptions can be made in certain cases such as as a student who is an elderly beginner (I have a 91-year old), and also a young beginner, when these students of yours can only come once every two weeks. It is helpful to them to watch a DVD of the basic harp technique made by another prominent teacher, at home. There are several of these in the U.S., along with the beginner level harp books. I
Janna, in office supply stores you can find standard forms of many kinds. Look for the one called Rental of Personal Property. It might need a little adjustment here and there but I found it quite workable. You’d need to have each renter sign a form to keep, and a duplicate to give back to you. Yes, ask for a damage deposit , to be returned in full when the harp is returned in the same good condition.
A harp and piano composition by Henriette Renie, Elegie, might easily be adapted for harp and organ. It is in Bb minor.
Alan, if you type in your search engine: Robert Bunker, levers for harps, you will get many choices to go further. The eighth link down the page has his direct contact information. Mr. Bunker designed the Loveland lever. I have no idea whether he will sell to retail customers or only wholesale
A professional harpist in Barcelona might know of a place to rent a harp. You could e-mail me privately for her contact information.

This brings to your computer the 136-page PROGRAM of what happened at the recent World Harp Congress in Vancouver. One can just leave it on your hard drive and enjoy reading it from time to time (I did) or print it out.

Elizabeth Volpe Bligh did a fantastic job, chairing this wonderful Congress with all of its details!
