"A Girl's Best Friend Is Her Harp"
ce O, I’ve never taken my harp N to a party," said Winifred Carter, when she _ passed through Wellington the other day on her way up to Auckland. We were discussing the question of the harp and its place in modern music. "The harp is used almost as much as the saxophone in many jazz bands in the States," said Miss Carter, "but I’d hate to swing anything on mine." Miss Carter is now in Auckland, where she and Henri Penn are giving from 1YA a further series of programmes for harp | and piano. The combination seems rather an unusual one, as most people imagine that harp and piano are similar in tone and range, But according to Miss Carter, who is an authority on harps, the two instruments are widely dissimilar, and the two together form a satisfying combination. "The idea should go over well in the States," said Miss Carter. "When we have finished our New Zealand tour, Mr, Penn and I will go back to America via Australia, and perhaps South Africa. I had intended to go back to my orchestral work in the United States, but now I have decided to cash in on the possibilities of radto work." In her case, Miss Carter maintains, a girl’s best friend is her harp.
