Sooo what's the haps with Anna? is she doing any concerts? I keep looking but haven't seen any posts about her recently. And ... Lightharp...I love it's sounds. Wish I had one.

@crashinaluscombe thanks! Anna is doing very well. she is actually a very accomplished composer and songwriter, and currently that's what she is focusing on, though i have aspirations to some day work with her again. i've developed several new instruments since i saw her last (including the AirHarp), and i would be very curious to know how she gets along with them... :?)

[lightharp]

@crashinaluscombe as for the light harp, i'm doing all i can to bring an instrument to market. if you send us an e-mail, i can put you on a list of "interested parties" and you'll be notified as soon as we get some kind of production instrument out the door. alternately you can build your own (both light harp and AirHarp) from our plans online. most everything i design is open source. ;?)

What are them blue lightbulbs?

[lightharp]

@danneppp those are 50,000 millicandela (~50 candle power) blue LED's of the 10mm form factor, each pulling 20 milliamps at 5 volts (60 milliwatts after 2v diode drop) for a 7.1% duty cycle when scanning and 92.9% duty cycle when triggered. ;?)

Better yet, book her lightharp / singing performances with the U.S.O. to treat the troops to her angelic performances! Good PR for Gearwire, I'd say!

[lightharp]

@crashinaluscombe good idea! maybe i'll run it past her. :?)

[lightharp]

@crashinaluscombe thank you! i have passed your kind words on to Anna. she has been a real blessing to me from day one. i hope to make some more videos with her in the future, perhaps with the new AirHarp prototype. cheers! ~ Peter

Picture her and Declan Galbraith in a romantic duet!!!!! Two perfect voices!

[crashinaluscombe]

I think her depth and perfect pitch, her charming smile, and her coyness are her plusses! Keep us with lumps in our throats girl! Love your voice! Do more of this romantic lilting style and pop waltzes as well!
