WOW!! I found you while looking for information on the Stossel-Lauten. You are one fine musician. Have you ever posted any video on the stossel?

[GMiner]

Thank you! No, I have "noodled" on them (I have the 5 main configurations), but have not yet really played them.

Do you have to specail order HGs?cuz i don't think my local shop has em...

[GMiner]

New and vintage harp guitars typically range from just under $2000 to at least $25,000. -GM

Do those cost alot of money?

I don't know what it is about harp guitars but they're so fascinating to me. You have a great collection, I've never seen some harp guitars like some of those. Especially the one that wraps all the way around the neck. I hope to own or maybe even build one someday. Do you guys do shows in places other than Portland?

[GMiner]

Yes - come see the first ever public 6-month exhibit in Carlsbad, CA. Details at The Museum of Making Music!

when will you create the harpguitare with pedals ?

[GMiner]

Sounds like a great idea - there are rumors of one such historical instrument....

Is this your private collection? I met Michael Hedges years ago and he showed me a couple of his. What an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing Gregg. Music runs through my veins and I get goosebumps when i find something new that inspires me.

[GMiner]

Those on the black wall and a few other are mine. Lots of others were brought to this event - the largest assemblage of HGs ever to have occured. The Miner Museum (www.minermusic.com) now probably has one of the largest permanent collections.

Yes, Hedges has been an inspiration to many in our community...

Thanks for your interest!

WOW!! What a collection. Very interesting.

[GMiner]

Thanks, happy to share it! I'll be putting on a special HG exhibit next spring (Feb-July) in Carlsbad, CA at the NAMM museum if anyone's interested. http://www.museumofmakingmusic­.org
