You might be a harp addict if….
You finally have the opportunity to purchase the sportscar, but you opt for the minivan because your harp won’t fit in the front seat.

ARPAS ARTESANALES DE PARAGUAY.
Well im 15 years old right now… so i guess that means i’ve played for just a few months under 7 years. I love the harp and I’m so incredibly glad that my parents never let me quit. Trust me its all about liking the music you’re playing haha. I’ve never been harassed or ostricized for playing the harp. Its always been an object of fascination for those around me. In fact most people find it incredibly cool that i play harp… a lot of my friends parents never believed that i played the harp until i told them myself haha. I guess I’m a lucky one for coming from a region that values being different and unique.
Hi, I am not sure whether you are still looking for the year your Erard
has been made. The year, sometimes, day, month and year is written on
the inner base. IfI always have enjoyed Xavier de Maistre play Renie’s Legende, and i just found a video of Josh Layne play Grandjany’s Cadenza in the Handel Concerto. They’re both exquisite.
My older pedal hp doesn’t have a name.My Thimothy Storm King was named Cate Blanchett because I performed elizabethan music on the first concert with her.My new Venus,very impressive huge sound,was named Waltraud Meier,my favourite wagnerian singer.
Buenas tardes Amanda
me gusta lo del foro de arpistas latinoamericanos, yo soy del paraguay y ejecuto el arpa desde niña y mi padre es uno de los mejores fabricantes de arpas paraguayas y guitarras
I have a good one. I played at a funeral for a dear friend as a gift to the family-just background music as people were coming in and getting seated. My sister, who is also a harpist, was sitting near the front and heard a lady behind her tell another lady, “That’s a harp. The way she’s playing it is very unusual. They don’t usually pluck the strings, they beat on the soundboard. The harp is really a percussion instrument.”
I can’t imagine how she got an idea like that! I’ve seen some harpists add a little percussion to their music in that manner, but it’s pretty obvious that they’re playing the strings, too!
Rachmaninoff – Ave Maria – it is a choral piece, however, you can play the piano rehearsal part on the harp – key F and no changes – it is quite lovely and doesn’t seem to be very well known around here –
Gloria,
Hi. I drive a ’95 Camry and play a Dusty Strings 36B. Here’s the way I put it in the back seat: column up, I sort of twist it in. I have found that if the harp is slightly tilted outward at the base and at a slight angle, I can just shut the doors securely. I wrap the seatbelt around the base to secure it. If the harp were 1 inch taller I would have a severe problem.
I have driven many many miles with it in this way and it works perfectly. I also haul clothes, bench, and every other thing I need.
Hope this helps.
I checked with my local car geeks and they reckon that the Matrix and non-US Corolla hatches are essentially the same car – same wheelbase measurements, etc – the Matrixes [Matrices? :)] just have a different body kit to make them look more like SUV styling and offer different engine and drive configurations like AWD. The interior dimensions should be the same. (Not trying to be painfully pedantic here, just offering the information in case anyone else outside the US was considering the Corolla.) Looks like I’ll be off to the Toyota dealer for a harp test.
