Yes, well - I wanna see it now too!!

I only just got the e-mail before I posted here to tell me it is ready at last. I've actually been waiting for a few years to be able to afford it, so the wait is longer than just 6 months.

It is made of three different red-coloured Australian woods, and one of those has creamy, marbled swirls on it, so it's going to be different from any harp I've ever seen before. It'll be nice if it has a good sound too. They all have their own sound, and you don't know until it is all finished whether it is really good, good, or just okay. The other harps this guy has made sounded good, but my ears were a bit out of order from the excitement of finally ordering it, too, so they could have sounded awful and I wouldn't have noticed.

I'm going off-line now, but I'll be back later today, maybe (it's 10.30am over here). So I'll talk to you later.
