Hallo again,
thanks everyone for your input. It’s great to know that somebody
actually made it on the plain with the harp. Erin, I checked the
Ravenna 26
dimensions and they are pretty much the same as the FH you have, the
harp case is the same anyway, so that’s encouraging! It’s a gooid idea
to have someone there at the airport ready to take the harp, just in
case you can’t take it with you.Stephen, that’s very interesting that you could fly with your 30
strings harp and I have some questions, but first let me say, funny
story about your performance at the airport *LOL*! I’ll keep that in
mind! Questions: the fact that it happened at the gate, means you took
your harp as hand baggege? Where did they put it on the plain? Could
you do this on different airlines? Is the harp case a hard or soft one?Audrey thanks a lot for all the infos and links you provieded, you
seem pretty sure the Ravenna “can’t fly”. All the airports I’ve seen so
far in Europe don’t have any placeI agree with Aaron, all should be free to play whatever instruments they like!
I’m the queen of ornate carving, guilding and victoriana myself…
Yes, well sometimes its fun to put aside the larger questions of gender etc and just have a bit of fun. I agree. I think Vince was responding to my rather vaccuous
Thought of a bib Andy? You could get one in black to match a dinner suit when you perform…..
When did you play them, what were they like, do tell, do tell, I have never played one of his harps before (except his restored ones).
Hmm. I saw him on too. I want the old Baz back. I hope someone that knows him emails him and gets him back, as yep, I think he was a cool sort of guy. If he has been pulling our collective leggies, well, that’s fine with me I’d be glad to hear from him again.

Yeeesss…..good thinking Smart….but! how to tape it tilted back in an actual playable position..that’s the rub.
luv ya!
The mirror idea is a good one…as it takes a while to gain a physical awareness of what you are doing, so having her watch herself and gain that awareness first will surely help.
And as much as I agree that strapping her to the chair may give her a physical sense of what she is doing, some societies may frown on strapping a 10 year old to a
Ahh, darling frilly, haven’t seen you in ages since we went to sunday school together down by the old oak tree…
Hmm, as to Manly types of harp….I’d actually say that most celtic style harps are somewhat uni sex. But those Thormalen (sorry about the spelling) harps have a kind of bow like strength – like
P.S. I’m sorry if your name is really Micky D, it’s just that we have a lot of people with strange nicknames here in harpcolumn of late….
Charlotte, we never did figure out Jane’s real identity….the mystery remains unsolved…did Jane figure out who John was before you did, I wonder??
How observant! We currently have a new poster called Micky D, could it be Ronald McDonald himself in disguise?!
I’d agree that the Salzedo seems rather masculine, although I might just be imposing my own ideas of the harp having the man’s name. (What a cool legacy!) While I think gilded harps look beautiful, I would not personally want to own one. I like the look of natural dark woods.
As for lever harps, I have to say that the Triplett ‘Eclipse’ seems rather “butch” to me. The design reminds me of a hunters bow. While I have never been a hunting enthusiast, I do enjoy archery target practice.
