Eric,

Please keep us posted. And, I do hope that you're planing on joining us at the 9th annual Harp Guitar Gathering, which I'm co-hosting with Stephen Bennett in Connecticut next October.

My own harp guitar is a 1917 Dyer style 7:

Eric,

I'd highly recommend David Taylor (DT Guitars), www.dtguitars.com. He built a stunning harp guitar for Muriel Anderson.

Here's a picture of me playing it...



Kindly,
Danny

She is a wonderful builder and that Harp Guitar has a wonderful voice ( So does Kathy)
She builds so wonderfully that you will not find anything that isn't pleasing to
your aesthetic eye and the tone is wonderful.
I played one of Kathy's harp guitars at Healdsburg. What a fantastic piece of playable art!
