How often does the base of your ring finger touch the harp?

[Tacye]

Saul, couldn’t you raise your Ogden on something to a comfortable playing height?

Hi Josie, If you want something lighter than a Pilgrim you will be having problems and not much choice- 8.2 kg for the Skylark while the Salvi Ana comes in at 20 kg, all the full size Camacs are heavier too.

What does the Early Music Shop in Saltaire have in stock in the way of Camacs to try?

[Tacye]

So, not fast traditional dances, or learning technique which will work on a pedal harp?

[Tacye]

What sort of music do you want to play and what are your priorities in the harp?

[Tacye]

Despite Carl’s blanket statement about CF strings the tension of course depends on the gauge of the strings.

[Tacye]

What sort of harp is it?

[Tacye]

Inside, outside, or in the car, what is likely to distress any piece of
fine woodwork is extremes or changes of temperature and humidity.

I leave mine in the car overnight sometimes when I am sure it will not be frosty.

I imagine Horngacher would answer further questions too.

I had not come across four flats as a tuning in England, but it does seem moderately common in Scotland.

If you aren’t sure exactly what model your harp is then it is probably going to be wise to measure your strings to be sure you are getting the right thicknesses.

Please contact Venus for the correct instructions for your harp.

I think you should start saving up- you can always change your mind and do something else with the money!
