Harp- Almost there...


Well, here she is- ready for her color. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!

Wow, absolutely gorgeous Carol! When you say color, do you mean a stain, or flat color, or more than one color? ( Just curious :-) )

Mona- it's a stain. I had a hard time with that decision, but finally made it. We were trying to somewhat match my piano. He would send me samples. They were either "orangey-brown" or the brown was too "dead". Then he sent me a couple with a color called Bourdeaux. At first I totally dismissed it- very red, but the more I looked at it the more it "grabbed" me. It's a very rich, deep wine color. Maybe I'll call her Ruby and paint hummingbirds on her soundboard!

I can't wait too! My daughter plays viola, and she's been so busy lately, with 2 orchestra concerts, helping at the school instrument nights where the rising middle schoolers try out different instruments they might want to play next year, strings competitions....As I sit in the audience for each of these events listening to the same songs I've heard 100 times, (although I really do like Dance of Iscariot and Portraits at an Exhibition) I have often thought of you, and how a harpist would add so much more interest to their orchestra's performances!
