Mystic-Al

Forced myself to get some work done on this harp again this morning! I have re-set the soundboard and have to sort the fore-pillar out tomorrow. I needed a piece of wood about 5'6'' long. Not the sort of thing you can find at the local woodyard as it has to be very strong. Eventually I remembered that we had an old Mahogany bedstead on the firewood pile behind the farm. I measured it and it was a perfect fit! Just a bit of jigsawing to do tomorrow. Also managed to find a small piece of wooden moulding from an old piano that was given to me. I will no doubt find somewhere to put it! The main feature will be a small owl that came from a car boot sale - seemed to fit the name Mystic-Al!
