Subject: Still trying to buy a harp...
Hi all!
It was interesting to read the result of my posting on my Quandry. The
proponent of Maple and more strings were quick off the mark, but the Spruce
people were adamant when they came into the picture... It still came out
even, though.
However, I have now eliminated the 29 string C to C from the local builder,
and am looking instead at 29 string G to G used from Stoney End. This
has the gothic look (not *authentic* gothic, Mike!) and a Finnish baltic
birch laminate soundboard. It also has full Lovelands. Unless I can get a
fabulous deal from the 33 string, maple s.b. guy, on a used harp, I think
I'm going with the Stoney End one.
Questions:
*Does anyone have any comments on the zither tuning pins? Do they work as
well/better than the Through pins?
*Any suggestions on the best way to ship a harp from the south central US to
northern BC Canada? (aside from c.o.d. which has already been determined! :)
Thanks!
Shawn
