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.
