I got the Serenade!!! I LOOOOVVVEEEE IT! It is as close to
the perfect harp as one can get. I can't believe how resonant
and full the tone is - wow! And it arrived in great condition.
I am very impressed with DHL. A driver brought it right to my
front door in a van. Great service. I am extremely pleased with
the harp and am looking forward to two more at least - my student
already has put her ibby dibs on the next one. When can I get
it?

page. She is one of just a few folks who have "one of each."

My daughter Nicole loves her new indigo Serenade dearly. It
has the most beautiful tone - and there's no problem with volume
- it's loud!

Just wanted to let you know we are enjoying the harp. My daughter
Laura has performed on it the last 2 weekends - once for a youth
convention of about 1500 teens, and then last weekend for a Christmas
party for a Christian Bikers Club - a very interesting crowd,
but they loved the harp and gave her a standing ovation! We have
had lots of compliments on how pretty the harp is, with the black
color, and the pearl. Have a great Christmas.

My granddaughter, Julia, has a very reserved temperament, but
her eyes lit up when I told her the Chestnut Serenade was her new
harp. She immediately sat down to play it. My daughter was so amazed
at the beautiful sound, so very beautiful. I could not believe
Julia's immediate attachment to her new harp. She played it during
her lesson, and then improvised on it. The resonance of that harp
could be heard throughout the house all weekend. It was wonderful.

I want to let you know how pleased I am with the new Serenade
harp. It is exceeding my expectations, and I am now thinking that
a Cygnet might be the next harp in my future! I am amazed at how
Dave is able to get such a great sound out of such a small instrument.
I have been singing its praises to all of my harp colleagues and
will probably use this harp for some upcoming concerts I have.
- R. Barnwell, Georgia (Mr. Barnwell already
owns one of our Swan harps and now has a Sereande. If he ever
gets a Cygnet, he will be the first to own a whole family of Thormahlens).

Thank you so much for your perfect customer service. It makes
me proud to own a Thormahlen Harp. You are sooo kind. I play my
harp all the time. I played for an 84 year young friend who just
had pancreatic cancer surgery. I know that she and her hospital
room-mate were deeply appreciative of the wonderful tone and healing
vibration. Her only regret was that her husband of 59 years was
at home and missed the concert!

Thank you!

I LOVE my new harp, and it is amazing how it pulls a totally
new, higher level of playing out of me! My fingers dance. And the
sound draws me into an amazing new rapport with the music I'm playing.
I could become a real harpist!

| Just a short note to say I’ve enjoyed getting to know my
new Serenade. It is so enjoyable to sit down and play – I
like the size, the tone and the levers are great to work with.
It’s a wonderful harp, thanks--Diana Day, Georgia |

My Serenade harp arrived today and I instantly fell in love
with it. It has a tremendous sound, is easy to play, and is light
weight (which is important to me). And I'm so glad I decided on
the black one....I think it's exquisite. My husband, who didn't
see the need for me to buy another harp, is equally pleased with
it. Although he knows nothing about harps and music, he also loves
the sound of the harp and he raved about the workmanship. He even
insisted that he do the dishes after dinner so I could go play
the new harp for him. I'm so glad I decided to purchase a Serenade...I
will highly recommend them to my harp friends. Thanks so much
for producing such a wonderful instrument.

I have been so busy playing my new Serenade harp! After telling
myself I didn't feel well, I called in sick to work, but truthfully,
I think I just wanted to spend some quality time with my harp!
I love it. The sound just fills me, and I've been having so much
fun playing new and old pieces with bass notes!!! Thank you again,
so much!

Sharon Thormahlen played a Serenade over the phone for me and
it had a WONDERFUL tone, so I ordered one. I was playing the new
harp when my husband walked in and said he thought I was playing
the pedal harp. That's how good the tone is. I can carry this harp
with one hand if I have to and am very, very happy with it.

My beautiful Serenade harp arrived, safe and sound on Tuesday
morning. We
commend you on the terrific job of packing that you folks do. The
harp is all that I had hoped for! The beauty of appearance; the
lovely sound; the comfort and compactness for playing and transporting;
the "perfect for
me" tension, string spacing and evenness of tone--are all most appreciated
features!
I am happy to be a first time owner of a Thormahlen Harp.
Sincere thanks to each one of you!

I am simply in love with my new little Serenade! Her sound is
magnificent--everything I want it to be and more. I am coming from
a pedal harp background, so it has taken me a little time to figure
out how to play differently to make that beautiful tone come
out, but I am getting
there. I am
unbelievably happy with what is coming out. I have even stopped
playing my big harp! I am truly, incredibly more than pleased with
my new little harp. I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful
workmanship and its wonderful outcome.

A neat thing happened this past month.
I loaned my Thormahlen harp to Karen Almquist for her concert during Octoberfest in Mt. Angel. Afterwards Karen's harp teacher, Marion Faust, came and visited Karen. The two of them put my little Thormahlen Serenade harp through it's paces and when finished, Marion said "Everyone needs this harp."

I love my Serenade! It has been so much
fun to have such a great instrument to practice on. Suddenly my
lessons have improved because I'm not just looking at all those
notes once a week. It took me a while to get used to the fact that
the harp was really here, but now I come home from work and
either wind up or unwind with all the things my teacher has me
doing.
- Sherry Lenox, New Jersey |
I just loveeeeeeeeeee my new harp. It's sooooooooo beautiful and elegant and I love the coloring. I have to run my fingers over the strings everytime I pass it in the living room. I've managed to pick out "Jesus Loves Me" and "Amazing Grace"......now I just have to refine them and practice, practice, practice.....and find a teacher. Thank you for your help and your wonderful website.

Just a quick note to let you know that I played Brown Sugar
aka "Shug" today at church and what a beautiful sound!
I received several comments from church members and friends about
how "deep and soulful" the sound was and even a few that
were particularly impressed with the design of the harp. I am very
pleased with my choice and can't want to see how the sound will
develop even more richly over the years ahead!
