      Matthew Sarb Thank you so much for watching! And that’s a great idea! I could probably only really comment on solo pieces though because I actually don’t have a lot of experience playing in orchestras 😔

      @@alexharpist I know I really enjoy Valerie Milot's performance of Moldau (czcams.com/video/TnYCW8eWqQo/video.html ), Natalie Lurie's performance of The Lark (czcams.com/video/q_ddPXCD-cs/video.html ), and Seika Dong's performance of The Lark (czcams.com/video/W1X0c3sJvaE/video.html ), but I surely am not good enough to play those pieces yet.

      @@alexharpist And then in the Gilmore Girls TV show, Drella (played by Alex Borstein) plays a pedal harp; Alex' fake playing is convincing enough to me that I thought she was actually doing the playing, when it was in fact Lori Andrews (and Alex is playing her electric pedal harp). Here's the link to the CZcams vid that Lori uploaded about it: czcams.com/video/HgzoYmnPx8U/video.html

      there is also a very small scene in „home alone 2“ where kevin runs his hand over an old harp in the attic. but i don’t know if it’s worth reviewing.

    You say hashbrown correctly, with the emphasis on the 1st syllable.

  • @orionlavinmartinez3186

    Hey, if I can give some little corrections:
    The harp from Vermont is not a lever harp, it's a very early pedal harp, probably by Naderman or Cousineau.
    The harp from Harry Potter also isn't a Concert Grand, but an Early Érard, which has only 41 or 44 strings.
    But it's a nice video!
