Does your Harp have a name? | Musical Reflections

When I’m out and about playing the harp, sometimes, people come up and ask me if I’ve named my harp!

I always say, “No!” but perhaps I should … what do you think?! Do you have any suggestions or ideas of what I should name it? I think it needs to be something angelic but at the moment, nothing comes to mind. Let me know your thoughts … I look forward to hearing from you!

“I am Music….Even before life began upon this earth, I was here—in the winds and the waves….And when Man came, I at once became the most delicate, most subtle, and most powerful medium for the expression of Man’s emotions….For I speak to all men, in a language that all understand….I am the food of love. I have taught men gentleness and peace. I comfort the lonely. I am a necessary luxury to all men.”
