Hi Daniel! I'd be interested to learn about early tuning keys too, as I want to get my harp set-up museum-perfect for living history displays (if I ever get...

Hi: What I am hoping for is that an early example survives in a collection . It is possible that some "armor's tools" are miss labled , but how can we know? I...
About tuning keys: I have a 6-string lyre with antler tuning pegs and a tuning key also made of antler. It has a brass ring to support the end with the...
I've seen photos this implement in a couple of places, described as a harp (well, hearpe or lyre) key. http://www.heorot.dk/beo-guide.html#harp Don't know how...
Very many thanks for posting that link, Tracie. Does anyone else know any more about this implement - its size, composition of the alloy, the size of the...
That's fascinating about your antler key and pegs, Bill. How long have you had the lyre? I must find out more about the properties of antler relevant to this...
Hi: Thanks Tracie, that is just the sort of artifact I have been looking for. Question still is if early harps used the same "wrench" style tool or if the...
Juliet asks how long I've had the lyre -- about 5 years perhaps. It was made by Guy Flockhart in Cardiff, based on the 6-string lyre in Cologne. The antler...
Hey all: I just got a card in the mail about this Summer's AEMF- it mentions the HHS Conference. However, neither the AEMF or HHS websites have anymore...
Larry and All: The annual Historical Harp Workshop will be held next summer at Connecticut College in conjunction with the second week of the Amherst Early...
Hello all, I am wondering - what is the general consensus regarding the authenticity of the medieval harp tablature contained in the Iolo Morganwg manuscript...
First of all, hello everybody - I signed up a while back, but this is my first post. I had meant to post an introduction when I was ready, but as it happens,...
Thanks for replying to my message. Having only studied the Robert ap Huw manuscript for less than a year, I'm a little bit out of my depth here, but I couldn't...
Well, I'm pretty new to this too. I've not read the Nash book you mention, though if you're into reading old Welsh scholarship, there's a critique of Nash in...
I'm afraid it's the very similarity to ap Huw that makes me, personally, most skeptical of the material's authenticity. I don't find it improbable that Iolo...
Thanks very much for your replies. I've been remiss in not introducing myself to this list, so I'll do so now. I'm learning to play the wire strung harp, and...

Hi guys...thought I'd let the Texans know about a concert coming up next week with Spanish harp (arpa de dos ordenes) at UNT in Denton. Please let me know if...
Speaking of Peru, I saw a strange little harp in the Museo de la Nacion's colonial furniture gallery. It was displayed in a recreation of a 16th or 17th...
Come tho think of it, the end of the harmonic curve might have been disc shaped or just rounded, my memory is a bit hazy and it was a while ago that I saw it....
Have you sent an email about the concert to Rebecca Passmore? You probably met her when you went there last year. I wish I could come! Denton is a 4 or 5 hour...
Hi Therese! I'm looking for Rebecca's card with her e-mail address... Sorry to miss you again. Dang, but Texas is a big state. :) What have you got going on...
I don't have anything historical-related right now, unfortunately. I've been asked to play on a recording of Sephardic music, but I haven't been told what and...
It's about that hot here in Atlanta, too. My husband is in Hawaii at a conference he's been looking forward to for months...but it's the same weather there as...
