Before one of my best friends died at the end of February, she had been gifted a lap harp by her children, to accompany her while she spent her last weeks at the hospice

Very pretty.

Much better to have the friend, I know, but still. Something she touched and treasured.

Indeed. I miss her terribly. But I am very glad that I was deemed worthy of carrying that part of her heritage.

Thank you. It's such a lovely instrument and I very much look forward to learning her voice... :)

Omigod, it is gorgeous! I used to have one a lot like it...I left it behind with my church friends when I loved from California, but I hope to get back to it one day. Never really got the hang of playing it, though...

It feels terribly fragile to me. I'm used to more robust instruments (piano). ^^ I've always wanted to have one. So to be gifted this one makes it very, very special indeed.

We'll see what my fingers have to say to playing it... :) If I ever get the hang of it, I'll let you know. :)
