I started learning about 8 years ago purely as relaxation - I'm a cellist by trade! - but I haven't played seriously for three years having been ill and then had a shoulder injury. However it is, as you say, a thing of beauty in my dining room and one day I hope to get back to it properly.
you know what they say about Jack of all trades... Cello is my first instrument but the others come in useful! Harp is purely for relaxation and pleasure. I'll find a photo of the full thing for you, Penny.
