I live just outside of San Antonio, TX. I don't play harp yet, but am trying to locate an instrument to learn on. Like most folks, I really like the sound of...
Can someone recommend a decent harp to learn on that won't break the bank? After looking around, it's apparent that I have champagne tastes on a beer budget,...
Hi there, I have three harps with very different spacing, and don't have any problem switching between them; it just takes me a few minutes to become...
Thanks Cornelia, for the info on string spacing. I had suspected as much, but it's always best to ask when you can. I wonder where I'd find a harp for rent in...
Hi Dow, I know San Antonio is not that close to Houston, but Melody Music in Cypress, TX is one of the larger harp shops in the country with an excellent web...
... The question about spacing causing problems down the road is probably an individual one. For some it will, for others it will not. Sorry to be so...
Dow, I can also recommend Argent Fox wire harps - Dan makes a very nice harp - well crafted and with good sound - for a reasonable price. He has both lap ...
I apologize for the off-topic post. I've noticed that I'm not getting all the WireHarp posts. Is this happening for anyone else? I've checked my YahooGroup...
I looked into Stoney End when I first started looking for wire harps late last year. They told me that they'd had trouble getting the stringing to work on...
I, on the other hand, had two harps of vastly different spacing when I started out and it drove me nuts. You can definitely do stuff on the narrow spacing...
I started with a nylon strung harp although I really wanted wire, (and I really wanted a one-piece soundbox rather than built up) and my only string spacing...
... Hi Dow, Regarding harp rentals, many dealers have a rent to own policy in which the deposit and several month's rental fee goes toward the purchase of the...
Whether different spacings will bother you depends on how your brain is wired. I found I had to take my own (narrow-spaced) harp to lessons rather than use my...
Thanks so much for all of the advice! This will help a lot. If you think of anything else, then please let me know. This is great stuff, and I'm learning...
Thanks Audrey. Does anybody else have experience with these harps? I know that the maker is a member here, as I've seen his posts, but I'd like more...
This gal has one: http://www.caera.info/ I don't know if she has any sound samples on her site, but I first heard the Bard when she brought hers with her to...
Hi Cynthia, I think that I'm getting everything. At least I'm getting enough to keep me busy, lol. Maybe there was some kind of a mix-up with your email...
Don't have a clue, Cynthia. I can say it was happening to me a couple months back. Maybe it's just your turn? (Argh! I hate that type of philosophy)....
... Well, I'm surprised you didn't pick up on this, it's sooo obvious. The list has apparently adopted a 'na comhluighe' tuning. One of us gets the email...
... What's really hilarious is I have gotten all these follow-ups on my Off Topic message, but I never got my original post. It's past April Fools Day, yes? ...
I've been reading through some of the older posts, trying to learn as much as I can without having a harp in my hands, and I keep reading references to...
I should clarify that the website seems to be available for registering, as in "There's nobody home." Sorry if that caused any confusion. Dow. Subject:...
I tried, but sadly, they won't let us access it outside the US :-( Is this due to copyright or state secrecy rules?? ;-) Richard. ... [Non-text portions of...
It's time once again to update all the listings on the Celtic Harp Page! As always we're especially interested in harp related events (international, regional,...
Ok, so pondering off the hypothetical situation on that Canadian tv show you posted a link to (sorry - didn't watch anything but the opening scene as my ...
