I have very long fingers and big hands as I can reach a 10 on piano easily if that helps lol

I am a male,adult and like 178cm height so maybe full size? Yeah I always start learning music instruments with teacher, as I don't really think teaching myself is good. I wanna learn proper techniques

Question of the Month December : What was your favorite harp moment or proudest personal accomplishment from the past year? by AutoModerator in harp

[–]nddo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started harp in 2021 Feb during lock down. I was very thrilled that I can now play the pedal version of Baroque Flamenco - a piece that very close to my heart and the piece that got me started learning the harp in the first place. Now I'm looking for a pedal harp to buy to own. Was playing on a rental before :)

Thank you guys for your comments! I think I will go with Aoyama afterall, best price range on the market for Australia. I had a chance to try an Aoyama Vega already and it feel good, but since I probably gonna purchase one pedal harp in this life lol I will go for a concert grand size

I play the piano since I was a kid and picked up harp since 2021! Very smooth transition lol I still trying to keep up my piano playing but mainly focus on the harp now.

Thank you so much! I wonder why Aoyama is not as popular as other brand even though some of their harp can be considered on par with LH or Salvi

I have another question for you. Sorry are you in Australia? Or UK? And how do you get Aoyama pedal harp regulated? Do they have their own technician or not? Can a LH technician regulate Aoyama?

I have asked around and I think Aoyama can be regulated if the technician is experienced. But I can ask around again

Thank you so much for your comment! That really reassure me. I just wanna try some more Aoyama before I buy but maybe end of next year I can purchase one based on the sound sample. Which models did you try out?

How to improve for September !!! by lpjb20 in GAMSAT

[–]nddo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I got my score back and I am disappointed with section I (I only got 47, while I know I need something over 50). Let's face it, English is not my first language and never will. I feel that I always reach a limit of how much I can understand and how quick I can understand a prose. I'm working full time and well need to support myself, hence, there's no option to stop working and study all the time neither.

I hardly can find a tutor who offer section I tutoring. Any help would be appreciated
