When most people think of the harp, it is the instrument of the angels that comes to mind. A delicate, beautiful instrument of an ethereal world. But the harp is an instrument of endless possibilities. Have you ever heard ragtime, Harlem Nocturne, or The Pink Panther performed on the harp? The concert harp is considered the world's most difficult instrument to play. With 47 strings and 7 pedals, each of which has three positions, the odds of playing a wrong note are insurmountably higher than playing the right one. But this is the magic of the harp: to make it all look easy, and to hide the pedals with a long, flowing skirt! This instrument was custom-made for me by Salvi Harps in Italy, and, aside from its striking tone, the ivory color makes it a beautiful complement to any venue and occasion, particularly weddings.
