Ingrid Bauer fell under the harp’s spell at the age of four, when her mother took<br />
her to a children’s concert. Ingrid was finally allowed to learn the instrument<br />
when she turned 12. Like most children, she started on an easier to play (and<br />
less expensive) lever harp and was eventually able to buy the beautiful American<br />
Lyon & Healy Style 30 that she says might well be her forever harp – although<br />
if she won Lotto she might opt for one of the super-expensive, very beautiful<br />
harps hand-made by Northland-based Kim Webby. Ingrid laughs and admits<br />
that musicians have strange relationships with their instruments.
