Thanks! I hope it all goes well for you. I am bit calmer now about being able to fix it but panicky about the cost of repair.. was it pricey for your harp?
Thanks, we’re bring it back to them later in the week. Do you know if it would be a very expensive procedure (Like over a thousand)?
Yes my jaw dropped when I saw that. I immediately assumed though that the syllables corresponded to the pitches (i.e. a solfege of sorts). Then again, I might have just inferred that because she was singing the notes as she said the syllables.

Only one of the 3 Japanese harpists had any indication that they studied outside of Japan. She listed 3 Japanese teachers and 1 French. The others seem to have studied only in Japan.

I thought about that but couldn’t find information that they studied any where else besides Japan. I hadn’t checked the only chinese contestant, Jessica Zhou, because I saw that it wouldn’t affect the statistics much. In fact, it further scews them, because she studied in the US. Another point is that most of the harpists of foreign
Just checked:
Of all the grand prize winners available online, (of the USIHC and Israel – couldn’t find detailed enough info on others) I tallied their countries of study (which often differed from country of origen). The results are distrubuted as follows:
USA 34.2%
France 23.7%
Netherlands/Russia: 10.5%
Japan: 7.9%
Italy/Korea: 5.3%
China: 2.6%

Given the title, are they all recordings of Renie? I wonder who or what the “Amis” reffered to… I simply MUST get that recording of Piece Symphonique – it’s one of my favorites! Do you know how
Hi Carm
I am going to road test an Andrew Thom harp in the next few days. I am 5mths into playing so am gathering up as much feedback as I can. In 2000 words or less (joking), can you tell me why you love your carbon composite harp? I am particularly interested in whether you feel it has a HEART (if you know what I mean). His harp have come well recommended by a few industry/professional sources I have spoken to.
I am probably only going to make one harp purchase ever (!) and the ‘durability’appeals to me….and I like difference in all things and am not attached to tradition. I really only have limited exposure to the one wood harp I have been using for the last 5 mths so would really appreciate any ideas or impressions you have to offer.
Thank you
Just checked ebay using he and hibbler – there are 8 copies of the sheet music listed and 26 of the 45rpms he had out – I love ebay- lol
Thanks, Saul.
I can see how that was supposed to be a “v” but without that thin line it looks just like an “r”!!!!

Hello! I want a lap harp that I can transport easily Since 22 strings sound too limited to me, I’m planning to build the Limerick harp. Can I play it with a strap when I’m standing? And are knee bones comfortable?
Thanks!
