===============================

Just FYI, the high A harp is REALLY high. I had the good fortune once to 
briefly try a well-known player's high A Filisko. I was struck first  by how 
ridiculously high-pitched it was, and second by it's staggering 
Filisko-osity (it was the only time a Filisko has touched these mortal 
lips). I got the feeling that if I were to play any note above the 4draw, 
dogs would come running from miles. Personally, I wouldn't waste the space 
in my harp case with a high A -- or a high G either. But to each his own. 
YMMV.
