Oh, this makes me miss the days when I played in orchestras! I played in a Tokyo-based community orchestra many years ago and was one of two harpists who regularly rotated between concerts! One year, I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to play with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra as a substitute harpist. The regular harpist had to travel away suddenly for urgent family matters. My days of playing in orchestras are over, my life is too busy with work. I hope you will continue to play for those of us who cannot!

If you’re looking for another instrument in terms of portability similar to harp, you can try the lyre! They usually have 16-27 strings and you might be able to get levers installed on one (though the actual professional playing techniques are different you can translate harp pretty easily to lyre)

How competitive is the harp program at BYU?
@user-yw2tm4tt7q7 ай бұрын
They only accept 2 new harpists into the program each year and I heard quite a few people audition each year so I guess it is pretty competitive? But they also have a very big and good harp program for those who want to minor!

The Salvi isn't an Arianna, it's a Victor Salvi 50th Anniversary model which is a special edition one - it sounds like an Arianna on steroids. I had an Arianna and my teacher (who plays a L&H Style 23 gold) tried it just after I bought it and she said she wished her Style 23 (which she'd had for 10 years by then) could do what my Arianna does as she liked the strong middle range - and that was when it was brand new and not even played in. That poor old Style 30 at the end really deserves to be brought back to life.

@jimbuxton218710 ай бұрын
The harps all should be tuned every day! Also more rigorous playing can improve the sound of a harp. The less its played the deader it becomes.
@amgineamgine15564 ай бұрын
Definitely, if they were tuned (and played) frequently, and the strings were changed every two years or so, they should (I think) stay in tune much better; also, if played regularly, the sound on all the instruments should improve. If strings snap easily, a harp technician can check if the strings are pushing against the pins in the wrong way, or if the pins should have covers. Let the technician/regulator know all the issues you guys have with each of the harps, so he/she can figure out what causes them and try to fix them. Perhaps a different brand of strings might make a noticeable difference to some of the instruments?

Well, all harps are hand made. All have their own sound. And they all age. The neck bends. The soundboard bows. Their tone changes as it goes from new to needing a rebuild.
