Marianne is a wonderful musician. She has a high level of professionalism and skill. She is also very dedicated and dependable. I had the privilege to have her playing on my wedding day. As a musician myself, the quality of the music at my wedding was very important, and I am very happy to say that my wedding day was more special with the elegance of her melodies. Her Chopin interpretation was inspiring and her playing was very warming. I definitely recommend Marianne Lin. -Tamiris S.
I just wanted to send you a HUGE thank you. You just played beautifully!!! It was obviously a very touching moment for myself and K and your music added so much more emotion in the air. It was making my heart pound even more as I was walking closer. Whew! hehe. I had guests telling me afterwards how they had difficulty keeping dry eyes during the ceremony...let alone myself! hehe. Numerous people said they loved the harp music during the ceremony. It has such a romantic sound to it. I truly wanted to thank you for all your work and efforts into making our special day even more special. We will remember your music playing forever! I would HIGHLY recommend you if I know of anybody looking for a harpist for a special occasion. - A & K

Regulation
Over time, you may notice that your harp sounds "off" no matter how carefully you tune it before playing. This is likely because your harp is out of regulation. To regulate a harp, one must make mechanical changes to ensure that every note is beautifully in tune. I am offering lever harp regulation from my home in Ottawa. For most players, the harp would benefit from a regulation every other year.
