MemberSidney B,
I change strings every year ( not all need to be but new strings sound so much better). I keep a full set

MemberUpdate:
This is Mr. Harris’s own orchestration, there is no publisher. We are currently trying to get ahold of his people to get the part (if they happen to have it) to our people. The original plan was for them to hand the orchestra our parts the morning of the concert!
Please, if anyone out there has done this with Sam Harris, please contact me!
Thanks,
Sid

MemberWhat color is the cloth? Is it a thin piece of red felt or a thicker piece of white felt?
Sid Humphreys
MemberI feel your frustration Sherry, I was ready to get rid of my 23 and buy a new harp while trying to figure out the buzz! I don’t think oil can cause the buzz. So it seems to have originated around D and E and is now spreading to C. Will it still buzz of the string is plucked in both directions (thumb pluck as opposed to finger pluck)? Have you tried slightly pressing pedals associated with the buzzing strings ( after finding out that it was Bflat causing my 4th octive A, G and F to buzz I temporarily fixed it by taping a piece of felt to the pedal cushion)? Please don’t mess with the mechanism yourself. That is a job for the regulator to do.

MemberI fit my 23 in a Ford Edge as well as Explorer. The milage isn’t great, I don’t think you can be too picky when it comes to an SUV… this is concidering the 2010 models. 2011 may have different dimentions and therefore may not accomidate.

MemberTony,
I use this Ap as well now. Try plugging in your hands free headset and dangle the microphone inside the back of the harp. You should be able to get a reading not only for the 1st octicve C but the 00G will also show up (if just for a second)! In fact I’ve been using this more than my regular tuner these days.

MemberWow Kay, this is why I hate dealing with a third party! I would try making one more phone call before calling the whole thing off. Problem is, who do you call? It should be the father since he is supposed to be sending the check. But then why wasn’t the contract sent to him instead? I say listen to your gut feeling, no pay-no play. In the future I would make it clear that whomever is sent the contract will

MemberYes Barbara, I like where the harps are placed here. But notice the camera man doesn’t like to film them!
Harps should get as much film time as the flautist or vioinist!

MemberThank you Clinton.
Yes Sherry, our bass clairnet was a little stressed that night!

MemberBart, you missed what I pointed out in Camac harps. They have more room
Sid Humphreys
MemberCamac harps have lots of room in the upper octives.

MemberSidney,
Have you concidered Bizet’s L’Arlesienne 2? the third movement has a wonderful harp and flute duo. Check it out on YouTube…
