    I don’t think there was a gap – Morley stopped building pedal harps during WW1 to concentrate on small harps and repairs and I have found references to similar small harps at the very end of the 19th C.

    I have several friends who studied something other than music at University and are now professional harpists (with degrees and even higher degrees in teaching, science, classics, history…)

    It depends on exactly how you define a ‘lever’.

    Hmm, the view from Europe is rather different.

    They sort of came both before and after pedal harps – there were of course many sorts of harp before pedals were invented, including hook harps, which had hand operated sharpening mechanism on the neck and developed into pedal harps.

    Hmm, I have mixed feelings – I resent what I see as pressure to transfer my (harp) life onto the site.

    I would never deal with a company or organisers. I have lent my harp out to strangers, and might well do so again (I have also borrowed one abroad so it only seems fair) but I would want to discuss it with the harpist in person and get a feel for the situation and how much personal responsibility the harpist would take. Maybe the harp would only be available if I were hired to move it!

    Nancy, there is a sort of non-slip material sometimes sold in cheapo shops as drawer liner.

    I have not (yet) met that model, but admire Teifi’s pricier models greatly.

    Bella, learning the AB theory syllabus up to grade 5 will make all this much clearer to you.

    You won’t miraculously know how to do it- like anything you will get better with practice and study, starting with simple music and working up.

    We also have a purely modern phenomena to contend with – compositions which sound great when the computer plays them but are a nightmare on real instruments.
