Thanks, Emily. I needed that. Just seems that all of the folk harpers I see, kind of moving along on their own, are playing more tunes than I..... I was playing much more when I was teaching myself from a book and video.... but now I struggle with these difficult pieces and all of the technique, and I wonder if I'll ever "get there."Jen, the hammers are used on a "zither" that has 2 strings per note... not the ones with in individual string. How is your's strung? If yours is an a single string, you wouldn't be interested in selling the little hammer, would you????
