The Clio is usually double action, but I have come across references to single action version- about 2 years ago the Brandden Lassells in Australia said he could get them for about 80% the price of a double action Clio.
I would be tempted to consider electromagnets as the way to go, I can think of some potential mechanisms where one or two permanent magnets and an electromagnet with reversible polarity could move a lever and no electrical power would be needed to keep it in place.
Several years back someone was working on a hydraulic system.
I am a fan of many short pieces (1 page at most) rather than only longer ones, this is one of the reasons I am fond of Dilling’s Old Tunes for New Harpists and more exercises than studies.
I have been puzzled for some time as to the comparative lack of popularity of Tyrolean single action pedal harps.
Pilgrim also sell legs for the clarsach- they unscrew when you want to
pack the harp up, and raise it to a height where you can sit on a
normal chair.That refers to one of the Handel recorder sonatas; nice pieces, but not, unfortunately, the concerto.
I put in a reasonable amount of effort trying to track down a copy of
Thurston Dart’s version as a double concerto for harp and lute.Alex, I am confident that if you had done an undergraduate course in
say languages you would then find it more possible to teach yourself
the advanced musical topics you want to learn.
