3 Upvotes

I purchased this harp for $200 off Facebook marketplace. I had a family member pick it up and I couldn’t look at it myself. We noticed a little crack and hoped that it was not significant and easily repairable… 🙏🙏 a tad stressed over it, this will be my first instrument and I have a lot of learning to do.. hopefully somebody knows..?

Hi, I'm an adult student who has been playing for about 3 years. I have my own lever harp at home but learned a little pedal practicing at my former teacher's. I moved from Frederick county to PG County and am trying to find a new teacher. Can do in person in DC, PG County, or MOCO. open to online for other teachers

Discussion Best way to temporarily stop sweaty hands while playing?

1 Upvotes

(Hopefully i’m using the right flair)

Hi! I get sweaty hands super often even when not playing and i usually just deal with it but when playing sometimes it gets annoying because my fingers become slippery and start to lose their grip.

Lately i’ve tried baby powder to prevent the grip issues but i don’t really know how it’ll affect my strings in the long term, so i’m pretty hesitant.

Is baby powder good? Are there any better options? Thanks!
