As many Musical Pundits have pointed out, if dulcimers and zithers are included in the Harp Care Bill, it will bankrupt Armenia. And after all, the pundits point out, there are alternative tuners from which the zithers, dulcimers and others of their ilk can get harp care. And still many have chosen to cross over into Turkey in order to get cheaper harp care.
Let us hope that the current diplomatic talks between Armenia and Turkey can settle the border crossing issue once and for all, with a NEHCFTA (Near Eastern Harp Care Free Trade Act).
