Good work, Stringsinger.

I second the point about an instrument which costs more than a house.

I heard somewhere that a Lyon and Healy pedal harp costs $50,000 and it costs $450 to string it. I have fine instruments that cost less than the strings.

This may be a wild rumor. I looked on their site, but they don't give the cost of the instruments. Maybe pedal harps are priced like cars - it depends how tough a bargainer you are.

Now, when Judy Collins did the song with whales in it, were the whales doing folk music?
