Hi Ken,
Good to hear you are supporting Aussie made!! Yay! My sorta guy!
I have heard of Denny’s harps. Not played one myself, but he is apparently a lovely person and good to deal with.
When you get your harp I’d love to hear what you think of it.
Best wishes,
Curls.
Whoo Hoo, Nana Kay!
Well, as least if you teach the rug rat harp, you will not have to buy one for them…too darn expensive! They can just use yours!
Great news Kay, you know, I did see baby clothes that had little hats of Koala ears, and matching grey and white
Hi Helio,
I just find a website, planet harp, that have much of Holy music from RHC on special for half price. Elegy, Nocturne, Impromptu. And Parish Alvars La Danse des fees (I like this one).

It is on the music close out page and I hope it works as the link. I do not know if they are part of the same company or not, and you pay by something called pay pal.

Is RHC inactive?I had a go at it(mail,on line order didn’t work),no reply.What a pity;his “Miniaturen” seems to be a fine set of harp
Congrats on your new harp!
From a teachers perspective, things I watch with my pupils when they go over to a pedal harp:
Posture – as you are moving to a larger and heavier harp. Watch how you sit, adjust your chair to an appropriate height. Sit straight, and make sure you are not taking too much weight on yourself when you tilt the harp back.
Tilt the harp back, find the spot that it balances, and adjust the height of your chair, and move to a position that you are taking a bit of weight on your knee to keep it at is natural balance. You should take no weight on your shoulder and only a minimal amount on your knee.
And try not to over do your practise at first, do not in your enthusiasm go beserk and do too much practise. Take breaks, remain relaxed and do not try to play too loud.
You need to remain relaxed and avoid tension. the string tension on a concert harp is usually higher and requires more strength then a lever. Build it gradually, and take oodles of breaks after say 20 minutes.
Congrats and hope this helps,
Curls.
My goodness, sounds like you may have had that experience
Cheers and thanks for the encouragement from allI’m aware of that, but the site in general, does not encourage people to teach without credentials. Take a look for your self:
Carmen,
If your American Harpworks harps are so great, why are you selling them?
There is a reason Camac uses carbon fiber with their taller harp design.
I just glanced at his “Festmusik” first hp part(I don’t have the 2nd) and it’s like Richard Strauss’ bold music.Since
