[Harp-L] Harp holder for kid-thanks

["Joy" <joyking1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just wanted to say thanks to the guys for offering suggestions for making
a small harp holder for my 7 year old and other suggestions a while back.  I
have to admit, this mom is no good a cutting and heating metal and I don't
know anyone who can do this.  We tried the coat hanger thing and that worked
for a little while but it kept having to be bent back and was flimsy.  He
likes to dance and move a lot when he plays the harmonica.  The one rack
suggested looked cool but was out of our price range at this time.  Lessons
are not cheap here in NYC but there are some great musicians he is learning
from.

 

For now we are using the hanger wire, a mounted one and a neck rack I
wrapped with foam until he grows into it and it won't fall off his shoulders
anymore.  It stills hangs to his waist.  He's so little.  

 

If it was up to him, he would rig something to his bicycle so he could play
that harmonica and ride his bike at the same time all over town.

 

If anyone does come up with a smaller version, I'd love to know.  Thanks
again.
