- When my oldest son was born prematurely, I bought a tape (that was 19 years ago so cd's werent really around much then) that was the most beautiful harp music I had ever heard. I put a tape player by his incubator and played it as much as possible. You see, harp music has a profound positive effect on premature infants, it helps their breathing and heart rates stabilize and improves physiological and behavioral parameters of stable preterm
infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. I think harp music is beautiful, your lens was very interesting! Thank you for providing such a wonderful read!

- That is beautiful. I've always thought the harp was such an interesting and regal instrument.

- Wow ... I'm so impressed. My husband had a harp a long time ago, and it fell down the stairs. That was the end of that. At my stepson's last high school recital there was a harpist in the orchestra. Quite an unexpected treat. It is indeed a beautiful instrument to listen to and behold. Looking forward to your progress with harps two and three.

- Ravi, if you wish too there are kits where you get every thing and just assemble the parts. I actually bought rough lumber and literally sliced it into the planks I used. Not everyone finds that easy to do. A good specialty lumber store (not the Depot guys) can do what is called resawing the lumber for a fee. YOur experience will determine a lot of how difficult it is.
