[Menvi-discuss] Harping

[SClark6144 at aol.com]

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.  
 
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.
