I had the opportunity to play a Stoney End Marion a few years ago, and fell in love with the lush, big sound – very rich tone. I didn’t move the instrument so cannot speak to its weight, but I would imagine that the deeper tone implies a slightly heavier harp. I have not tried the other harps, but do own Music Makers Gothic harp which has a clear and bright tone. The only thing that kept me from purchasing the Marion on the spot (besides the lack of cash in my pocket) was the fact that I couldn’t justify adding another harp to my collection at that time….

Please reply with a photo and phone number or the email will be deleted.
Thanks”

I’ve been moving harps since the days when there were no dollies (I had a pseudo-skateboard to roll it around, but it was of no use with steps or outdoors).
I don’t wear nail polish as a matter of preference – I think it makes my short fingers look even shorter.
My husband designed my wedding ring with the help of a jeweler just as Sarah’s husband did – the back of the ring
I can’t wait to hear what you learn – and wish I could be a little mouse in the corner when you interview him!
