http://www.briggsauction.com/viewAuction.asp?i=51 Tonight, in just a few hours, a harp gues up for auction.? It's about 10 minutes from where I live, so I'm...
Wow! That's a Ram's Head Single Action with the original art on the soundboard! It still has the swell doors with their original art! I hope you get it - do...
Hi! The harp is a single action ram's head (like the one that will hopefully be coming home with Evangeline tonight). They started producing these about 1794....

Well I'm sorry you didn't get it, but I'm glad to hear that my dear Stumpy's cousin fetched four figures. Did the buyer give any indication of where/how he...
Hi, Before we moved to Maine, I lived in Glen Mills, Pa., a stone's throw from that Auction House. Been there many times, and never saw a harp up for auction....
Sorry to hear that! It is frustrating at auctions sometimes! My husband didn't get a pair of sconces that he wanted at an auction this weekend. Now he is...
I saw this - they've done some rather nasty things to this poor harp! They glued a piece of wood onto the bottom petal box, and the fact that they don't show...

Hi there, The harp is most likely by Challiot, Blaicher or Brymmier... is certainly paris made and has a crochet mechanism, not an Erard style system... the...

Thanks Mike that is very useful. The ID comes from the auction house. I know nothing more about this picture. I knew that you lot here were the best people to...
I have to say, whilst I am sure this was a beautiful harp, I didn't bring my bargepole with me.... The paparing of the soundboard is next to impossible to...
The harp was sold with a buy it now?, but I see that it is relisted. Would be a beauty reconditioned but that would cost a small fortune I would imagine....
Perhaps the buyer quickly came to his/her senses and backed out. I suspect Howard could make you a perfect replica for less than it would cost to restore this...
