Re: [Harp-L] Re: the small amp for beginners controversy



Wow.  Go Piggies!  I'm impressed with all the Pignose devotees among the
Harp-L family.  The Pignose is a cool litlle amp with a really fun tone.
For my own purposes, I prefer a small tube amp for my beginning students,
but the Pignose is just too much fun to ignore.

Playing harp is supposed to be fun, right?
