Thanks guys! I'll let her know to reduce the tension and get more details on exactly what's going on. It will probably be a couple of days before I call her again, but she's going to be playing it until she gets the new one, so reducing tension before Saturday is out of the question anyway. If we can save it, I'll be very happy. A free harp is nothing to sneeze at. Or on, for that matter. I've had the chance to play it a little bit, enough to whet my appetite. I play traditional Irish music, among other things, and am particularly fond of O'Carolan music.

Should I just keep this thread alive or should we take it to private messages for the "harp healing circle"?

Thanks again!
