"Flexible" AND "Stable"!? KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!! The gaps seem nicely spaced to compensate!! I love the new shape of the sound! It responds so well to the rolling "r"'s!!🎉🎉

THAT OPEN GLOTTIS PLAYING AT THE END SOUNDED ~SO~ B.A.

Thank you! I gotta admit, I was questioning if I was going to keep going with these harps… the smaller ones can be finicky to make. But I’m getting them dialed in now!

😎 I’m gonna work on trying to explain the glottis play for a Tuesday Tutorial sometime! @bebbcorpharpery7331 has great way of explaining it with “better, butter, bottle” with a British accent.
