The Salvis I know have polyurethane varnish which has the advantage of being resistant to all sorts of solvents.

One useful tip from my first harp teacher- play every string in flat, natural and sharp.

What you should do depends on whether you want it as a playable instrument or not.

You can already play the second note of the slide, it is just a normal note after all.

I find it can help to think of pushing from the thumb tip (or finger tip) rather than pulling from the base of the thumb (or finger).

I lived for a couple of years up a flight of stairs – managed fine with the 3 wheel trolley – several of my friends have lived higher.

It depends on the harp, where it was built and the seasoning of the wood.

Glad to hear it worked.

I don’t like many ‘proper harp benches’ they don’t have enough padding and when I sit high enough the sharp edge cuts across the thigh and cuts off circulation.

In favour of getting the Clio is the fact that in a couple of years your daughter will have developed that much more as a musician and may make a different choice about which harp suits her.

I rather think that the publisher is one where you can see the first pages of their editions on line, either on Adlais or through Creighton’s Collection.
