ParticipantYes, you should have kept the trolley. I have stuck to mine through several harp purchases. The one that Barbara mentioned sounds very good. When it comes time to replace it, I’ll be hunting around local makers like that…or just find someone to copy this one.
Mine was only $75 australian…(about $50 US) but it was more than 20 years ago and the maker has since passed away.
I do think the triple wheels are very helpful for stairs. They work well on my one too, and I think the fact that it

ParticipantHi Paul,
Good question. Well, if its an excellent harp and is in great condition, and you love the sound – then it might be worth going for that one. At least you know you like it.
You could get a technician to do an assessement for you, or take a harpist with you that knows a fair bit about structural things…
Yes, having a warranty is handy….but as harps vary so much, if you find one you like I’d snap it up! New or old. I’d only buy new if you could have a choice.
Hope this helps, its just my thoughts.

ParticipantOh! The smell should wear off if it is glue or varnish. If not, spray it with something.
I had a pal that got cranky with an old boy friend, and put prawns in the hub caps of his car, so that when he drove around he would be reminded of what a stinker he was! When he finally worked out where the smell was coming from, it was really nasty…especially as it had been summer. Well, he tried plenty of remedies to get the smell out, baking soda, deodorizes etc. And one thing that really helped was vanilla extract! So, I would recommend you put a couple of drops of vanilla in a cup of water, and moisten a soft cloth with it, and put

ParticipantJohn, you have surely had some rotten luck with harps and accessories…
Well,

ParticipantCrack up! Maybe it smells using a process of osmosis…just absorbs it through the wood….

ParticipantHi John,
I’m so glad to hear that you are back. Now, I’m so sorry to have teased you so badly in the past. I think you have a really good point here. Where do you think the bad ones go?? Would love to hear your opinion.
Cheers.
