I started at age 27. My first teacher was the wonderful Cindy Horstman. I do consider myself a professional. It can be done!
@HarpAficionadoBlair, your harp is not properly insured then. You are covered only in your home in the case of fire or theft. You are not covered in your car or while on a gig at all. If you accidentally loose grip of your harp when moving it to your car (or in your case ACROSS the room) YOU ARE NOT COVERED! Wake up and get covered. I know it sounds like I am attacking you but I really do care. Homeowners will not take care of your instrument.
I can’t wait to hear the Savarez strings. I restrung with BowBrand back in Jan. and so far have had to replace 5th oct E 6 times. Just wen it’s about to start holding tune it breaks. Many of the other strings are either rough or have imperfections that remind me of Burgandy strings. Not a big deal if that’s what you pay for.
While I really love my ebony and bronze 23 by L&H, I think a Salzedo in ebony with the column in equal parts platinum, 23K gold and ebony would be stunning. That would truly be art deco!
All of thee above Saul. There have even been times that I didn’t raise but went downward instead. It all depends on the piece.
Alan, I use Anderson, visit their we site to get an idea of rates. They have alway done well for me! http://www.anderson-group.com

They had to be high-resolution so they can be blown up really large so that they can check for flaws. Your instrument is insured for replacement cost ( if you have a 50 year old 23, it will be covered for the cost of a new 23). If you want a lower replacement cost or a higher one, I’m sure they will work with you n that.
I have seen a left handed pedal harp out there before… that would be played on the left shoulder, the discs and pins are also on the right side of the harp.
Well Alison, we don’t know the price yet. Being that this harp is in the UAE, it may have a really big price tag. It also appears to be one of a kind.
Sorry, after looking through this again it is 9 bars from the end of the piece where the “tremolo” starts (to me this is still a trill). It starts F natural, then E natural, back to F natural, then A flat, THEN G natural. I think the answer is to tune the 1rst octave A down half a pitch. That note is only used at this part of the piece.
