About me:: I have played for 20 years after finding my first in a field not knowing what it was. The first person I met that could play other than myself was 2 years ago in India, since then this little instrument of my heart for so long, has now become a bigger part of my life.

I travel as much as I can afford, my second home being India. I was born to play the harp. I've always carried 2 Schwartz harps when I travel to give away, to people that show an interest to play. India 2 years ago I was 'given' my first Dan Moi, it was a moment.

This is the first community of this sort that I have joined, I've been a bit of a loner where the harp is concerned for many years ~ nobody really appreciated it ~ it's got me through some tough times in life and a small friend that has always been at my side.

I am an IT specialist, teacher, designer, I dabble in web design, writing, poertry.

I'll be at the 2008 Jews Harp Festival in Norway, September. This will be my first so I'm really excited about meeting more players.

It's difficult to express the real warmth and euphoria of it.
I could express just the tip of an iceberg of my first-hand experience.
Thanks a lot for honoring both the souls. ........ Rebanta
