re: #94 makeitstop

That’s a gorgeous instrument. Harp is the only stringed instrument that I find more intimidating than a pedal steel guitar. Ten strings can make me nuts, I can’t imagine what 34 would do to me.

the proverb goes : harpists spend 1/2their time tuning, and replacing strings, the other half playing an out-of-tune harp.
A good friend of mine is a harpist. A few years back he got a small inheritance which allowed him to commission a new harp. He also has two antique ones, which are amazing.
