Hamilton

Bit of a grim drive down thru Aukland to Hamilton, esp when it started to POUR with rain. And I mean pour!
Why Hamilton? Well, a lovely harpist called Lisa had offered to give me a harp lesson! My first in about nine months... I was a little concerned that my technique might have slipped a bit, but it seems it's not too bad. All thanks to the redoubtable Dorothy back in Hereford!
Have to say it was really grand to get my hands on a 'big' harp again: my little one is fine and lovely, but there's just more to play with on a bigger instrument! We finished the lesson with Lisa playing me some music on her beautiful 1830s Erard pedal harp. A beautiful, full sound from an instrument that's only 20-something Kg!
