With reference to the diversity of subjects on the list, I must say
that I have raised many questions which have probably been of
peripheral interest to most of the list members and have invariably
received responses from those who were interested and have never
encountered anyone who took umbrage that the question was
asked. There are pedal harpists on the list and I suspect
that pedal harp questions will be answered by someone.

It is certaily worth a shot. Perhaps one of those "angels who walk
among us unawares" will drop off that pedal harp they never get to
play because they are too busy doing good.
Harps are family. I think that they all deserve a place on the list
whether they are rich harps who have done well in the world or lowly
Pakistani harps struggling to keep soundbox and pillar together. There
is no need for harp class struggle or distain for any particular type
of harp unless of course it can be proven that they have indulged in
reprehensible criminal activity. :-)
