I cant imagine any link – none of the risk factors for osteoarthritis (by far the commonest indication for joint replacement) of the hip would seem commoner in harpists apart from the fact that they are usually female and females account for around 60 % of replacements!
The recalls are for one particular implant.
Can you try out any harps or are you going to have to import unseen? She is an average height for an 8 year old and would probably be very happy for well over 2 years with a smaller harp. She is still going to be quite short at 11 and would struggle with a number of the larger harps. Its not so much not reaching the bottom that matters but getting your right arm round the harp easily while sitting at a level that lets you pedal. Camacs are light and my child found them the most comfortable pedal harp to play when shorter. She still says that now at 5″6 but that’s more likely to be that she is accustomed to the feel. But she is 99th centile height for age so yours will be way shorter than that at 12.
You may well find a use for that Clio later too if she wants to play at school a lot or go to orchestra or ensembles. They are very easy to move. As for straight or extended it depends which one grabs her if you get to try. If you are ordering in I would go extended if money is not major factor but purely based on the fact that the nicest Clio I have heard was. In fact that particular one was nicer than plenty of Athenas i have heard!
Any one know how to turn off auto correction on an iPad? It’s a very bad mix with harp names!
