Re Nelson fund thru Virtual chapter
Count me in on contributing. Let people on the list know when an
account has been set up for Virtual Harpers.

Re levers by touch
In the beginning of my lever design I recognized the need for
*feeling* the difference between some notes, not only for the
non-sighted person but for those who play in the dark or in dimly lit
restaurants. That premise resulted in two handle configurations which
are offered by the Truitt Sharping Lever. One handle has a circular
feeling, not globe-like but flat round shape; the other has a flat
heart shape handle. In the advertising copy (in brochure and FHJ) it
is suggested to use the heart handle for Cs and Fs, the round handle
for the other notes. There is no extra cost involved in ordering this
way, as they are available in either form. For anyone interested
further in these levers, please post directly to me and include an
address where I can send you a brochure. Thanks.

Dear Kevin,

Great idea! Count me in on printing the music in Braille - I'm willing
to
contribute a few bucks to see this happen. Nelson was a great
inspiration
to me - I printed off several of his letters months back to keep and
reread.

Thanks for thinking of it!
