It went something like this: "The harp is an instrument crrafted by the devil, but it makes the songs of angels". Harp Heaven, everyone says that angels play the harp, right? At the opening gala for the World Harp Congress 2011, I heard a very different saying. It comes in 2 clear colours (Peppermint and 'Quenched'), and 4 different tints (Peach, Grape, Cherry and Punch). I've bought several different chaps, and they all feel differernt, but the one I've found to work is Maybelline Baby Lips which can be found at your local drug store, or department store. Waxy is the exact opposite, but both make you think "Ugh, I need to take this off!"

What I've found to work is True Blue Shea, Cashmere & Silk. Who seriously wants grease on their strings when playing? Also for yous with the tighter tension harps, regular hand cream or body butter softens your hands too much, you will get breaks in your skin if playing your lower strings (I've done this, it hurts a lot!)
