I’m Dublin based and there are a couple of Dublin harp teachers – send me a PM or your email address and I’ll give you more details.
What sort of quality recording do you need?
I use an Olympus digital voice recorder like this one: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1514&page=overviewIt’s not too expensive, very portable and connects via USB directly into Mac or PC.
On the other hand the quality is not amazing just good enough for recording practice sessions etc – I find it very handy for that.I would also go for the Ravenna – I haven’t played the Triplett but prefer Dusty Strings to Camac generally and I personally would feel to limited with just 22 strings – even a few extra make a difference.
I hope no-one minds me resurrecting an old thread but does anyone have any experience with the microcube amp since then? I’d be looking at the 15 watt version for use with both my electric harp and to amplify my acoustic harp for background gigs (both lever harps). Does it give a faithful sound? Can it cope with the range of the harp? How loud would it go (difficult to describe, that one)? Guitarists seem to think very highly of this little amp but I don’t know how their needs would differ from the harp’s needs.
Thanks in advance!
Surely even if that’s not possible she could have private lessons with another harp teacher separately to college?
It’s underhand and unpleasant behaviour and very frustrating but unfortunately that happens in business sometimes.
Hi Em,
I have seen your posts and would really love to play with you except I’m in Ireland, not mainland Europe!
Another exercise that my teacher had me do for rolled chords was to build it up and add the fingers one at a time.
I bought an Olympus voice recorder for this a year or two ago and it’s been perfect for my needs. The sound quality is ok but not great. Perfectly fine for playing back to yourself or to record your teacher playing. I went for Olympus because it’s not tied into Windows (like Sony and others) – it just connects as a USB drive and you can copy files over. I also use it as a USB portable storage drive.
A friend of mine has a Zoom recorder and the sound quality is excellent – much better than from my Olympus. However, it was about 3 times the cost…
Thank you so much for your offer – this sounds very useful! Could you email it to me as well? I will send you an email now so you can just reply.
Thanks a mil!
