Beautiful. Thank you for showing those. The Glenelle is interesting. The lever arrangement is quite different from mine. Are her harps named?

(Common question in the harp world. Other harpers immediately ask me what my harp’s name is :)…)

The travel harp is Selkie skerie. The Starfish is just The Starfish, for now. The Pilgrim is La Negrita, and the Salvi is BamBam.

The Glenelle is a brilliant. With its travel case (custom carbon fiber by Colorado Cases) it weighs in at 46 pounds, which is the magic number when flying, especially overseas. It is also played by some of the best harpers including Rachel Hair and Catriona McKay.

The Delacour levers are sweet in that they rotate a single peg disk to sharp the string. Just pressure, no wear. Strings last Much longer.
