I hope it goes to a good home too. It ended up going for $10 over my maximum bid, so somebody got a heck of a bargain. If someone here got it, make sure you...
Let's not be so quick to bash the U.S.Postal Service. I recently bought a harp from Paraguay and it was delivered the least expensive way possible- through the...
I like these older models that look like someone cared enough to actually shape the wood. Especially the pillar - I hate it when the pillar looks like it was...
... I must second that sentiment. I shipped just over twenty harps this year (so far!) and the default shipper (out of habit I suppose) has been UPS. They...
My intention wasn't to disparage the postal service per se, but to make sure the buyer knew that the seller is unaccustomed to harps, so he or she can give...
When my Otway was shipped they did not lower the tension. It arrive in pretty good tuning too! That was shipped on ground. I don't know about air, though. ...
Hi All! To whoever buys this harp,.. it is possible to correct the excess string breakage, but changing some of the gauges, and indeed using very fine steel ...
There's also a craft to setting the brays. I have a large Memling Lewandowski and I heard someone else with the same harp and he just didn't know how to...
Hi, I just wanted to second what Edgar said about setting the brays. A tiny adjustment in positioning the bray pin makes a big difference in the sound that is...
This is a very good point. My Campbell harp which is strung with polished gut did not have a nice braying tone. My Ian Firth 'Minstral' harp, which is strung...
... have a nice braying tone. My Ian Firth 'Minstral' harp, which is strung with historical gut, brays rather nicely. Too bad historical gut is so expen$ive. I...
Hello, I finally found some video footage of the Venezuelan Arpa Mirandina on YouTube. It is worth while listening and watching for wire harp technique and for...
I love mine. I have two of them - a 25 string in cherry and a 30 string in mohagany and I absolutely adore them. My 25 string, Illyana, is my workhorse - she...
Hi Audrey. It depends on what you want, and which Triplett wire harp you get. Some have a really nice tone, others don't (although this is true of any maker's ...
Dear Audrey; I have a Triplett wire strung for sale. Irish 25 in Maple. It's posted on Craigslist. It's not traditional but still nice. It's a good one for ...
Hi Friends, Just wanted to let you know that I'll be on KALW, 91.7 FM this Saturday at 3 p.m. on "Folk Music & Beyond." I'll be playing a bunch of pieces ...
Good evening! If any of you are able to attend tomorrow evening's Project Telyn Rawn performance at Tewkesbury Abbey, I suspect several of us would love to ...
Hello All, Having been accepted to the list, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a forty something (going on 22) married American residing in Lodz (pronounced...

Thank you, Mary, for the positive reports from the recent concert at Brecon Cathedral. It sounds as if the workshop the next day was also packed with...
