My father gave me the harp as a college graduation present (HE started playing in his 40s and his partner Bill was a professional harpist - undoubtedly it was Bill who chose my harp - there's a nice picture of him here but he died in 2013). MY harp has been sitting in my grandmother's attic for 20 years and I have never progressed beyond my "teach yourself to play the harp" book. But my grandmother's death last year forced a clear-out of her house so after a LONG saga (including building a case for it, which took THREE MONTHS) and then dragging the damn thing from PA to DC to MN to NJ to Scotland... no lie... then another couple of months to get it restrung... anyway, I'm finally playing it again. Not well or professionally, but, ya know, if you HAVE A HARP that kind of makes you a harpist.

It turns out that most of my harp music is Scottish anyway.
