Ever since I saw Camille and Kennerly play Dream On by Aerosmith on YouTube, I have to say the Lyon & Healy Silhouette always dazzled in my brain. I managed to play one today, 33 strings and a moderate pluck, fully levered and electric. I had on a headset that appeared to be electrically connected to the harp, and I could hear myself play while nobody else could--good for not bugging the neighbours if you practice outside! One thing I loved about this harp, is like the Ravenna by Dusty Strings, and the Harpsicle/Grand Harpsicle by Rees, the Lyon & Healy Silhouette has a strap, or a stand that you can use--meaning you can play the harp standing, sitting... or running around (SLOWLY! so you don't drop it!!)
I have to save up if I want this one... so time to book more gigs!!!
Hey Kiddo, Love your blog. Did you hear about the tornado that hit Goderich. Pretty horrible.I hope they get everything fixed back up by next August so we can go there and have fun again. Happy Harping, Carol Kappus, your Goderich harping buddy. PS Here's my address: HPFK@aol.com
