It’s absolutely great if you’re a beginner, or if you want to play in a lot of different places. Mine came with a guitar strap, so you can stand while playing. I still have mine, and even though it’s sound isn’t the best, it is great if you’re just starting out. If you’ve been playing for about a year, this is not the harp for you. Otherwise, the sound is small, and the playability is easy.
Hi – thanks for the quick response. Yes – a standard orchestral pedal harp. Let’s forget about notation, if you don’t mind; there is no sheet music involved here. This inquiry centers around a harp sample library, which consists of individual notes, and glisses. The glisses sound wrong to me; what is labelled as Am does not sound like Am. Here:

First is a pre-recorded Am gliss, and then one I created with individual notes.
Hi Clinton.
my symphaty. and welcome to the blog of many similar sufferers.
althought we all seam to share the same symptons, i think there are different reasons for our ailments.
mine started when i was diagnosed with diabetes.
like most of us, doctors and dermatologist mearly prescibe ointments, which help, bur do not remove the problem, and it keeps on flaring up.
i have tried almost every ointment under the sun, including gloves in a bottle (in fact this expensive product helped the least)
i am now trying to go on a proper diet, and loose some weight.
i feel reasonable sure this will eleviate some of the problem.
happy reasearching

Hi there Basel – Congratulations on your new harp – how wonderful! I know we would all love to see pictures posted when you have time. In the meantime, we are all delighted for you – enjoy.
Dear Elizabeth, I saw that you recorded the Francesca da Rimini harp part, and I’m going to rehersal this part next wednesday. I don’t know exactly if there are different parts of this piece, because I remember to have played already a part that had a Cadenza, more or less like the Flower Waltz, but now they gave me another part that has only some apreggios, very fast, but not like a Cadenza. I was wondering if this piece complete is much bigger, like an opera or similar, and we are going to do now, only a part of it or something like a suite of the whole piece? Anyway, if you know more than me at this moment, could you help me to understand this part? What fingering did you use for those arpeggios part, if you remember? I was looking better at them, and I thought it is
Hi,
I can ask my teacher (who is the one playing in that video) but in my personal opinion, this piece is VERY VERY long, especially because so many people play almost all of it on the slower side, and so it makes for a shorter, bearable piece. Also, the last 3 variations aren’t the most exciting and (combined with the variation before those three) they make up a large part of the piece
Many thanks for all the posts so far.
Just to clarify. We had an Aoyama dealer visiting us with two harps. From those two she left the Etude 47E, which was clearly the better of the two,
Martin,
Speaking as a professional teacher your back problem comes from 1) sitting posture 2) height of your seat
http://www.patriciadaly.co.uk has a harp tutorial available which shows diagrams and details information for this very issue.
It’s very common amoung beginners and must be adhered to early in your learning process.
