Hi! I’m from St. Petersburg, Russia, the Venice of the North. I started my harp lessons in the beginning of October 2006, and on 23 December I had my first public concert )) performing “Reverie” by Grandjany and “Mountain stream” by Skeila Kanga with my hands trembling like mad ))). Unforgettable experience! Now I’m getting acquainted with a
Yep.. Perfect to snuggle up on the couch with. Weather i get it first or after a floor harp. Think it is a good thing for mindless playing in the evenings or where ever around the house. Ken
I think buying a lap harp well be fine for me for now. Being If I do find a floor harp in the spring or summer after being able to try a few. Then I can all ways sell the lap harp on Ebay for pretty much the same price I paid for it. I just did that with my Noteworthy Harp. It sold in a half hour after I posted it there. I’m surprized no one is trying to sale there harps there. I have sold a number of insturments that way and never had a problem. Specially a harp.. There are “none” there listed by private owners.. Strange..
Any one see or play the Lyon & Healy Ogden Harp yet? That looks pretty sweet for the price..
Plus with having the lap harp.. I well have something to play for the few months while the harp is being made. The biggest part of having of having a lap harp for me. Is being able to play out on the back porch swing in the summer months. So a lap harp for me well always be used even if I just use it for doing mindless finger exercises while watching a movie in the evening..
The Ravenna 26 base is 13″ at the widest point. The Ravenna 34 base is 15.5″.
Anyone play the Dusty Strings Allegro 26? Guess it more expensive over the Revenna 26 because of the solid wood? Ken
I live a few miles outside of Pgh Pa 15147.. i sent a few of the main harp dealers a request for any sellers in this area with no response from them as of yet..
Good point Jennifer regarding the extras. I have only found one seller http://www.harpcenter.com/ . That gives a free extra set of string with
Kari.. thanks.. How are you using both harps. Like playng out, night bedroom use etc? Which one do you find you play more.. Think it is a good ideal to have a lap and a floor model. Briar Rose, from what I was reading, it has a heaver string tension. it must really put out some bass, How the string tension feel? Ken
Tacye, the Ravenna 34 does look very nice.. The features too..
“All the lever holes are pre-drilled, making it easy to add levers at a later date.

Me alegro de participar y encontrar buenos amigos y amigas arpistas que siempre han sido muy escasos. Un saludo a todos.
Stoney End Eve you have sounds wonderful, that is really something Liegh. 10 years!! You really got you moneys worth of tone out of those strings. I think you are ready for a new full set of strings, unless you plan on moving up in a bigger harp in the near future. If not, 30 dollars for a new set. I saw the Sara from Stoney End web site. It had the F string that so many like yourelf have requested. Nut mot the high A. After comparing the string gauge to the Lorraine. It has a bit more string tension using a few heavier gauge strings than the Lorraine.. Which I think I would like. If you are getting that much volume out of the Eve.. Look out when you get a bigger body floor model harp.. Have you posted any mp3’s of your playing anywhere? I still not sure what I’m going to get. My eyes are all ways bigger than my wallet..
Everyone here seems real nice. There is alot of us lurking and enjoy what everyone here has to say. As I and others enjoyed what you have to say. Look forward to hearing to what harp you may be considering to get next. KmCarl – now you have really touched on an issue…. when someone calls himself a teacher, when in reality, he needs to learn himself. i believe there was another
