Dear Mr Hors, congratulation for your work on the MIDI harp. I'm a harpist and music teacher from Padua, Italy. I'd like to know if it would be possible for you to make and sell a custom MIDI harp, without levers and with 34/38 strings. Actually, I'm working on a project for harp midi controllers, but I don't have one. So, I'd like also to know its price, if possible. Thank you in advance for your kind reply, Annabella Palleri
Hello Annabella,
As you can see this harp is a (forever ;-) ) work in progress... This is a hobby (I'm a tech teacher), so I'm not working on this project at full time. I'm working on pedals now, but I have really no clue about when in will be working (this summer, maybe...).
As you can see my prototype is usable but have some issues : the design is not set (I'd like to, but experience told me that it will have to be done, at the end of the project, when it will work perfectly). I have also rough time with soft playing (it is not as sensitive as real string), plus different minor issues...
Even if I'd like to, impossible for me to give you a price. All I can say is that the hardware used in my actual prototype costs 700 euros more or less. I guess that it could cost 3 or 4 times more once mounted, wich is not a fair price for a prototype...
I'm not a professionnal, so I'm not able to give a price, and , most of all I'm not able to give a delivery time !
That said, give more details about your project, maybe I can help or give you some advices...

Dear Mr Hors, thank you for your quick reply. I'll give you with pleasure more infos about my project, but I think that it would be more practical by e-mail. Here's my e-mail address: abella72@virgilio.it. Please write me back yours. Best regards and wishes for 2021! Annabella
