    It might be a long shot but if you do find a harp for sale (e.g. a second hand harp)

    I suppose it’s like any musical instrument – the examples above are for the UK but I’m sure there are graded levels in other countries as well.

    I think there are also versions of this song in Kathleen Loughnane’s book “Affairs of the Harp” and in the Sounding Harps book 4 (the black one) under the name Molly/Maire McAlpin.
    Not sure if these are on Amazon but you can buy them from Morley Harps in England (www.morleyharps.co.uk).

    I’m sure a lot of people only have one harp!

    If that doesn’t work out, try contacting Cairde na Cruite http://www.cairdenacruite.com, the Irish harp society – more information on their website.

    Maybe you should head over to Scotland for the Edinborough harp festival at the end of March?

    As Karin says, it was probably a replica of the harp in Trinity – the Brian Boru harp.

    I don’t have one of Jan’s harps but I considered it and went to see his workshop a couple of years ago.

    He’s not very a well known maker but his harps are relatively small, light and do sound very pretty if not especially loud (if I recall correctly).

    It’s such a shame that you’re in this situation – I always find it odd when people object to harp music since it’s such a lovely, inoffensive instrument normally!

    Unless you were playing late at night though I wouldn’t think he has any

    Sorry I wasn’t sure if it was Cminor or Cmajor or if there were two different pieces!

    This might be slightly off topic but can I just say how lucky some of you are that you have a choice of teachers!

    Thanks Barbara and Saul for your answers!

    I don’t want to buy Sonata in C if it will be too difficult or change the piece too much to translate to lever harp but I will have

    If you want to take the exam then all the information necessary (including repertoire lists) should be on the ABRSM link above.
