ParticipantYou might try querying two French distributors.

ParticipantI hope the so called music teachers who labeled children with the term “tone deaf” during the last 50 or 60 years are somewhere getting their just musical desserts.
In the course of 40 years in both music education and speech therapy, I have found fewer than 5 kids who couldn’t learn to carry a tune. With patience and kindness, it is much more accurate to say that ALL kids can carry a tune than to say that ANY kids are “tone deaf”.
You have brought many joys here, Liam, with your sense of humor and nifty conversation, and I bet you do the same with your music. More power to you!

ParticipantHi,
Does the wire harp have to be played with the fingernail?
unknown-user
ParticipantDear Nina
Yes, just hold it and lay it down so that the base it normaly stands on
is in a right angle to the floor. To see the date you don’t need to
take the bottom of the base off (the part the harp stands on). A few
inches inside it is the inner base (where the pedals are fixed) and on
this you should see the date. Sometimes it is the year only, sometimes
month and year and with my Erard it is the full date: 16.4.1923.Denise

ParticipantThanks, Liam!
I’ll see if that works with the shaping and length of the nail.
I have heard some wire strung harps and I fell in love with the sound.

ParticipantAudrey,
My teacher plays a pedal harp and I think her style is very traditional, I’m learning gestures and technique for the most part and am almost done with Suzuki book 1.
I haven’t even played my guitar since I started harp lessons, which was good because I had some guitar picking habits that had to be unlearned and it wasn’t easy, lol.
But I want to start playing guitar again. I miss it!

Participantsaul, you are jumping to conclusions here.

ParticipantUm, are you paying for the teacher’s strings? I think you’re being very unfair to the teacher.

ParticipantI made a dust cover a year ago with elaborate blue curtain material (bought it cheap as it was the end of a bolt) with silly fringe on the bottom.

ParticipantThank you all for your feedback on this!

ParticipantHow are Venus harps easier to transport? Are they on wheels and motorized?

ParticipantThere are many unnecessary accessories out there. You need a tuning key, a tuning fork or device, a metronome, a bench, and a humidifier if your house is very dry in the winter. And music and a stand. That’s about it. And a teacher. I know a good one in Toronto. I have actually been in Sudbury.
