I actually used to have an Andrew Thom harp, and it was brilliant. I only sold it because I am mostly concentrating on my pedal harp now and I wanted it to go to someone who would play it every day like harps should. :) Hi Lisa!

It actually still reminds me of these old magazines. The capital is so pristine and clean. We were there on a Sunday and it looked like we were in the middle of a Star Trek episode and all the people were zapped out of the city -- but yet it stood there clean, modern and untouched. I have to add that the Aussie people were great. Also -- they have a fabulous harp maker -- Andrew Thom Harps (in Tasmania -- yes like the devil). Uniquely designed harps with warm rich sounds. I have two of his harps and couldnt be happier with them. I had the pleasure of visiting Canberra, Australia 2 years ago. It actually still reminds me of these old magazines.
