Both comments were funny and a good extension to the discussion on good / bad harp playing. Maybe as a final comment to this thread I would guess that 99 % of serious harp players are good/acceptable instead of crap. The remaining 1 % are excellent world class. Calculating backwards from that would give a total of 10 000 serious harp players worldwide. Wonder if I'm even close? :)
