    Probably too much is on my music stand! i’ve added two new exercise/etude books to my collection, 25 easy studies, Kastner and Mitch Landy’s Music for Harp Students. Pozzoli studies no 41; Salzedo 5 Preludes, no 1; Elegy, Kathy Bundock Moore ; Little Fountain, sightreading from new Christmas Eve book, Sunita Staneslow.

    I love it ! I’ve discovered new music to try and of course you have access to these fabulous teachers that you would never have otherwise.

    You might search in Harp Column magazines; or in the American Harp society magazines, i seem to recall an article about various harpists and teachers shown on a family tree diagram. When i purchased my Swanson pedal it came with about 40 vintage AHS magazines which i found fascinating.

    Have you looked at the Budget Harp Rentals site? located in Jacksonville, Fla. That might be an option, looks reasonable. I know someone who rented from them.

    I call my Swanson simply “the Swan”, my SE Eve is “EVE” ; i haven’t named my Thormahlen Serenade but i think it’s aptly named already.

    Balfour i enjoyed your Strange but True.

    Mr. Swanson, it’s never the harps fault!!!!

    I have a lever harp once again with light tension; i’ve been enjoying Joanna Mells’ Ginger’s Little Harp book and Pamela Bruners original pieces.
