A couple months ago, I drove to Denver and looked at a roomful of harps at Kolacny Music Store. I ended up buying a Dusty Strings Ravenna 26-string harp. I have loved it! Learning the hand positioning and patterns hasn’t been as difficult as I expected, and right now I can play a few songs fairly well from memory, the melody only and nothing fancy with my left hand.
“Over the Rainbow” was the first song I learned.
I have taken three lessons with a teacher in Denver, and one lesson with another teacher in Fort Collins. Now I’m in the predicament of deciding which I want to stick with, since I’m driving a fair distance from Western Nebraska, twice a month, for these lessons. I need to decide in the next day or two, as this coming Thursday is my next scheduled day. Tough decision.
