Beautiful picture but I have a question: Is your cat guarding the HG or keeping you from playing it?

Her sister, however, preferred to leave the room. Both of them would run from the pedal harp and hide under the bed but ignored my gothic harp. If your cats don't like to be around hurdy-gurdies, they will go away while you are playing and come back when they are ready. I wouldn't worry about it. :-) Joanne > >> and dogs and cats will run from it > >Is this a common occurrence when playing the HG? > >I ask in all seriousness, because I am quite interested in getting an >HG, but if it scares the cats, it won't be welcome in the house. > >The wife has a steel drum she doesn't play because the cats are >literally terrified of it.
