Terry, while she knows about her new harp, she doesn't expect it to be so big. She is about 150 cm tall while the harp is 188, so her first feeling has been a mix of fear and awe.
Then, after almost two hours of dad's work to get it perfectly in tune, she played it and discover that it is pretty easier to play than the previous smaller harp, because voice is louder and cleaner, pedal are soft but punctual and, much important, the instrument is well balanced, so the weight on her shoulder is small (I ignored it until I discovred the harp world, but to play an harp you have to pull it against your shoulder, having it standing on the floor only with two of its four legs, and balancing it with your legs and body movements).
Now her only problem is about string number. This harp is 47 string, while the previous was 40, and the celtic harp is 32, so she experiments some problem when she has to play lower strings, because her arm is not long enough, and she has to do some strange movement to reach them.
I video recorded her past "performances", but I have nothing with this new harp. When I'll be ready I'll let you know the url. Maybe I can add a couple of pictures...
Ciao Riccardo
