Before launching what is NOW happening in my harp world, I regress to 2009 when I took a trip to Portland to go to a workshop but my ailing dog at the last minute decided to go (his caretaker vanished). On the way to Portland, I heard from my mbira friend, Licia. She called and asked for Reiki. I mentioned harp. The rest is history. Oh, and no Jungian workshop for me. Enter harp.
Licia cautioned me on forming the correct hand position (see photo).
This seems simple but has proven to be always a work in progress. Licia had two small harps, two lever harps, and 2 concert harps. Plays beautifully. Here are the first two. I mention them and show a photo because my first harp was a cardboard harp. Nice sound.
I bought a cardboard harp from Arpeggio harps and in the next 2 months traded it up for a Dusty Strings as you have seen in my first post.
