I'm feeling kind of sad about this, but it was a necessary move. I sold my pedal harp today. I got a good price for it, and I didn't have to wait to find a buyer. I'm selling it to another student's family from my harp teacher's studio. I know the young woman it's going to and she's much better than I am. She's at the point in her playing where she needs a pedal harp if she's going to continue, whereas it was a nice to have for me. I can be perfectly happy playing on my celtic harp for a few years.
I get much needed cash that will let me pay back my friends who loaned me money to help with my move, pay my second semester tuition, and supplement my pension withdrawals. And they get a really good harp, a few thousand cheaper than brand new, they save on shipping and taxes, plus they don't have to wait 6 months to have one built. I'm sad to lose my harp but at least I know it's going to a good home, where it will be played and loved. splitimage

Oh Splitimage I know how much it meant to you. I think you made a good decision though. I am going through the same thing, I need to down size and I have told myself some of the things I will have to part with are only things! Hard but it can be done. I wish you well.

 That would tear my heart out. I'm so sorry you had to sell it. But sometimes we have to do things we hate doing. I hope someday you can buy another.  My thoughts are with you. God bless. Hugs, Lee

((spitimage)) - you made a hard but logical decision. Its natural to feel a strong emotinal attachment to a musical instrument -it linked to your indentity and its a beautiful piece of art as well. I too hope you'll get another one some day.
