Hi Everyone, Cheryl Ann here. I am Mothe's Mom. Mothe is my beautiful Prince of a dog-a pure bred Belgian Tervuran. He adores his horse Fazon (the horse of...
Hello all, this is Jean, your communications guru, communicating. It will be fun to see how this group works. All harpers should use the site to post...
Good idea Larry. I'll try to upload a photo later Jean! CAF ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail...

It appears that our invitation to join the group has yielded some results- so welcome! Please check the very first email on the site for some pointers. I'll...
Hello Historical Harpers! Does anyone of you out there play on an Ardival Kentigern harp? I'm thinking of getting one, down the road, and am interested to...
Greetings all, Thank you to Larry for inviting us HHS members who weren't able to get to Amherst this year (also for helping me get set up as a group member)....
And greetings to you, too! Just to get things moving, how about if folks post up a similar thumbnail sketch of themselves? Anybody can post photos to your...
Hi Flory! Thanks for starting the idea of posting photos. I like seeing folks with their harps! Cheryl ... __________________________________________________ ...
A couple of weeks ago Alexis Gorin wrote in to ask if anyone had any thoughts on Ardival's Kentigern model. I'm a little concerned about questions like this...
I sincerely do apologize to Bill Taylor. In retrospect perhaps this was not a tasteful question to put forth to the HistoricalHarp group, but I honestly was...
I appreciate Bill's concern, however, I think it is a legimate point of discussion for this forum. I think hearing about particular harps from people who have...
With great respect to Bill, I also think Alexis' question was appropriate for this forum. I never thought that she was looking for criticism, but rather for...
I agree with Cheryl, that this type of discussion *is* valid for the forum. I did not read more than a request for information from Alexis' posting. It is not...

The Historical Harp Society is a small one. There are approximately 150 members. And lots of members know each other personally - including the makers of many...
Bill and all: I tend to agree with what Cheryl is saying. While I don't think that we want to get into unjustified trashing of any harp maker's efforts, a...

I am afraid I greatly disagree with Cheryl. I would find it complicated to contribute to a discussion -- either critical or complimentary -- of our harps in...
In my experience discussing how various harps sound, respond to various articulation requirements, how many strings are best for various repertories as well as...
Hi all: I concur with Cheryl's remarks. I will intervene if any dialog on this list becomes too negative. I should point out that I don't screen emails prior...
Hi everyone, I don't know if any of you are based in Ireland, but just in case... Just to let you know that our first gathering will take place on Saturday...
Hello, folks: Regarding the discussion of particular harp models, here's my own personal preference, based on a relatively recent experience: I think there's...
I certainly never meant to make Alexis uncomfortable and oblige her to make a public apology, and I'm sorry for that. Truly, there was nothing in her question...
Thanks, Bill- Unbeknownst to the folks on this list, a great deal of dialog has taken place off list regarding this question, and a general consensus seems to...
Thanks, Larry, List-serve is new to a lot of us. I try to think of it as a public meeting-hall, where conversations are overheard by everyone who chooses to ...
Hello Niamh, An Irish harper! Can I ask you a question? I have a CD with a Celtic traditional song called "Tra Bo Dau." It's actually on Charlotte Church's...
Hi Alexis, You can of course - I'm not actually familiar with that song. It looks Scottish to me, rather than Irish or Welsh, but don't hold me to that! I do...
