varnish (which all violinists watch so
closeIy) and general make, is to be
compared to the modern harp or grand
pianoforte of to-day. Yet a Strad is
bought and sold now for a trihe Of
twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars
by an enthusiast.
Royalty and the nobility of nations
have marked delight in the noble
harp and receive it as right honor
able friend and master. From Queen
Marie Antoinette to the reigning
queen of the Belgians (who. my late
friend, Baron DOrzy, informs me.
is a most accomplished perfor1ner) the
harp has kept its prestige in royal
circles.
Countess d 'Esterhazy and Lady Love-
lace lord Byron's only daughter)
were great patronesses of the harp.
/ contend that the supreme effect Of
beautiful woman gracefully posed at
the harp and playing with grace and
naturalness has had much to do with
keeping the harp luxury and making
it an exceptional instrument from the
fact that the effect SO far has been SO
great and impressive that the serious
study of the instrument has scarcely
been considered by many amateurs.
Again there has been lack of COM
posers, and that simplicity in writing
SO desirable with the harp faded, and in
its place came an ephemeral, common
place music presenting difficulties often
undeserving the trouble of study. In
deed, up to a few years ago the major-
ity Of harp compositions have, strange
to say, been aggravatingly free from
the very qualities that should have en-
couraged the player. 1t has either
been soulless simplicity or chroratic
use of the pcdals with vengeance.
Happily, the harp repertoire of to-
day will avoid this result. This roper
toire may not be large but it is good:
and it is just possible that harpists
profit by this, and learn something
well, while, where a too large roper
toire exists, pupil often does a great
deal, yet-nothing, from having this
library at command.
Messrs. Erard expressly made me one
of my present Erard harps which may
here say has been the companion of
the best part of my career; and for
twenty years I played upon it all over
Europe, severely trying its qualities to
the utmost; and during that time it
withstood every trial and was un-
touched by anyone but myself.
1t is safe to say that hard working
solo harpist will wear harp more in

Why not harps2 Would the reader ex-

why not harps? Would the reader ex-
pect a piano newly strung to keep in
tune? Are they not often kept tuned
weeks if not months before the public
hears them?
So to speak, all the tuning must be
taken out of the string before it will
keep in tune. and harpists should give
more attention to the minor details of
tuning to enable them to tune correct
ly.
The harp can, by my system of tun-
ing, be tuned and proved to be tuned
perfectly by scientific means. The
ear alone is not sufficient to prove this;
Il may be imperfect or unframed. The
principle and proof of perfect tuning
must be decided by scientific conclu-
sions alone.
Lessons on the harp from good
teacher cost five dollars each, so one
who studies it must have assurance
that he is qualified to learn.
A harpist should have a good ear and
nerve; fair musical temperament, intel
ligence and patience. It's the slow,
careful and regular practice that tells
and makes the player.
Young aspirants are too fond of
playing instead of studying for the
necessary advancement My expert
ence tells me that much injury is often
done by an injudicious choice of music.
I would say-master the expressive
and broad style before trying the
snowy.
The sky-roclzet is very pretty, but,
alas! it's ignoble and soon forgotten
in its fall. Learn to touch the heart
by thoughtful, honest study and others
will think and feel from the result Of
your efforts.
A two years progress should result
in an advanced harpist. though excel
lence" asks very high fee in many
years of constant work. AS Buiwer.
Lytton says: "The student often has
more real pleasure in the pursuit of
her studies than in after life when
they are realized"
This should give courage. It's work
that tells.
When seated at the harp the pillar
should be exactly opposite the right
shoulder, the player sitting perfectly
upright, avoiding STOPPING, and the
feet pointing slightly towards the
right and left side of the instrument,
The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-11-17

which should be held in . state of
equilibrium (nearly balancing itself.)
The tone of the harp should be pro-
duced by pressing, not pulling or jerk
ing. the string; the fingers held ver-
tically or bent half way to the palm of
the hand, the thumb quite erect and
the wrist firm and steady acting as a
tone regulator, for according to the
amount of tone desired the wrist
should be held tightly or loosely.
The hands should always be held as
steadily as possible without any super
f1uous action, while the movement Of
the arms should never in any way
change the position of the hands.
To better sketch the proper way of
holding the hands upon the strings, "a
matter Of the highest importance) let
the harpest extend the full length of
the right arm and hand, then bend the
tips OF the fingers half way to
the palm of the hand, afterwards
turn the hand over to the right plac-
ing the right fingers upon the
strings Of the harp, while slightly
raising the right elbow and always
keeping the thumb erect.
The right elbow being raised serves
to keep the strength of the hand and
fingers near the strings: while if the
elbow is allowed to drop too much this
is naturally drawn away from the
strings. On the contrary. the left
elbow should be held in with the fin
gers similarly bent and the thumb
erect.
In conclusion advise all to get a
correct fundamental knowledge of the
harp. then devote himself to patient
study, and give most attention to
progressive" pieces which will afford
him greater encouragement.
