Ouchie!
My harp teacher LIED! She said that when strings break, they just kinda flop. Maybe on her sissy concert grand harp they do.....
But not my Dusty Strings, oh no. I just had my low F snap.... and it BIT me! I've got a lovely scratch on the back of my left hand now. A treasured battle scar, I suppose.
Losing the first string is like losing that first baby tooth...... and I had no idea what to do. I actually started to cry.
Thank God for the Internet, Dusty Strings' website and my brave hubby. Between all of us, we managed to replace my string with a minimum of panic on my part.
Now after a little Bactine I'm ready to go again. And now I have an excuse to go up to Salem on Saturday to buy a backup string...... and some new music...... and maybe try out a few harps......
