| www.alisonvardy.com/harp-info/harp-amplification-amp.htm | Janelle's rule on amplification: If the officiant, or guest speaker, uses a microphone, Janelle uses an amplifier. Janelle plays her harp at least as loud as a pianist on a piano. Janelle's harps are equiped with Fishman pick-ups. Occassionally she uses a Crate Limo amplifier. She does not need an outlet. The article above explains more about amplification. Please ask Janelle's professional opinion on amplification. | |
