Not for those, who play harp the other way round. I play harp with
the draw notes on top, holding the harp in my right hand, which is
good for me, because after a jawbone operation there is a lack of
feeling in the left half of my chin/lower lip.
Are there any other "left-handed" harp-lers ? BTW I think it is easier to
manage overblows playing that way. Comments?

P.S.: I saw Didi Neumann appearing on the artist itinary. Please, can
you send me your E-mail adress?
