<DIV><FONT size=4>Harp moving is a way of life for me. I have two harps
and move them a lot, as I am basically a wedding harpist. The bigger
one is a Style 15. As your wife knows, that is a small concert harp,
about 65 pounds, awkwardly spread out. I'm so glad I wasn't able to afford
a bigger one. It fits in my Accord wagon. The other harp
is an Aoyama Etude, which is also a pedal harp, but smaller at 60 pounds.
It just takes a strong back and a weak mind. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I think the blind harpers of yore played harps that were quite
small compared to ours, so you may be getting a glorified impression
there. Personally, I couldn't play the thing if I couldn't see it.
