We hope that\u00a02017 is full of health, happiness and exciting projects for you all. We have returned from our winter holidays,\u00a0and the year has begun well with the news that for the third time running, we have been awarded the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patrimoine-vivant.com\/en\/showcompany\/1663\">Enterprise du Patrimoine Vivant<\/a>\u00a0(&#8220;Living Heritage Company&#8221;).\u00a0We will now hold this prestigious certificate for another five years.<\/p>\n<p>The EPV is given by the French government, to companies who underpin and further\u00a0France&#8217;s\u00a0artisan and manufacturing heritage.\u00a0France boasts many fine such traditions, particularly in the fields of the arts and culture, and in technological innovation. We are inspired,\u00a0of course, by\u00a0the fine French instrument makers. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/en\/harps-en\/pedal\/elysee-2\/\">Elys\u00e9e<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/en\/harps-en\/pedal\/vendome\/\">Vend\u00f4me<\/a> concert harps are direct tributes to the genius of S\u00e9bastien Erard, and we keep a treasured private collection of historical instruments.<\/p>\n<p>In the face of increasing globalisation, it is important to remember\u00a0why a company might decide &#8211; as we have decided &#8211; to remain committed to domestic production. This is one of the principal motivations behind the EPV. \u00a0We are very sorry that so many of you are currently on waiting lists, and we are working hard on this situation. If however we were to move our production out of Mouzeil, you could get your Ulysse more quickly, but we would immediately lose our\u00a0overview. We are always working with our stable team, most of whom have been\u00a0with us for years. This is good for quality, because human individuals stay in one place,\u00a0constantly building on their\u00a0savoir-faire. All our new harps are tested\u00a0by the same professional harpist who has been coming to our workshops weekly, for years. All this gives us a fantastic\u00a0quality control. Sticking to this principle has occasionally required us to hold our nerve, but our confidence in our instruments has never been firmer. For example, we\u00a0recently doubled our warranty period on our concert harps to ten years, double the usual time.<\/p>\n<p>Artisanal heritage is about what is made, and also the people who make them.\u00a0A good and sincere business is part of a\u00a0community, as evidenced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/en_blog\/2016\/05\/harpes-au-max-2016-2\/\">Harpes au Max<\/a> festival run with such interest and generosity by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pays-ancenis.com\/fr\/actualites\/?\">COMPA<\/a>, our civic authority. We are\u00a0a source of employment, in an impassioned field with constant opportunities for professional development. Almost every musician needs occasionally to remind themselves why they are bothering to work so hard. One way to make it all worthwhile again is to attend an amazing concert; we often do. We are also energised by our time with our\u00a0colleagues and friends, all committed to making the most beautiful\u00a0instruments that we\u00a0can.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about our quality and directives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camac-harps.com\/blog\/en\/la-maison-camac\/quality-and-directives\/\">here<\/a>.
