[Harp-L] Changing the Way You Hold the Harp

[Rick In Davis <rickindavis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I?ve held the 10-hole harp the same way since I started playing 
more than 30 years ago,  sandwiched between the thumb 
and forefinger of my left hand.  My right hand cups behind 
the harp and mic.  I?m thinking of changing the way I hold 
the harp because of an emerging nerve condition in my 
left thumb.  (Getting old is a drag.)
 
Have any of you ever changed your basic grip on the harp 
after playing for several years?  Have you changed your grip 
from one hand to the other?  Do most right-handed players 
(like me) hold the harp with their left hand?
 
Any recommendations?
 
Thanks.
 
-Rick
