Hi, all - (I'm having trouble getting the hang of responding to yahoo groups, so if this is a duplicate, I'm sorry.) I love my bray harp, even though I haven't...
Bray harp IS an acquired taste, but the evidence is unquestionable that our earlier forebears, i.e., medieval and earlier, liked it. I just acquired my ...
Hi all, Happy New Year! My wife has a dedicated bray harp by George Stevens, and we love its sound. In a way I confirm what's been said - it's great especially...
i'm writing to let you all know that the hhs bulletin has been posted and should have arrived to all domestic addressees (those in the U.S.A.) if you have not...
I'm fairly new to the Bray harp but not harps in general. I used mine for the first time this past summer at our local Ren fair. It drew both good and ...
oooh- is it that much of a problem? i was under the impression that caps in email messages convey shouting. i sympathize with you about such bugaboos- mine is...
I got the latest HHS bulletin in the mail OK- I was disappointed that this elist wasn't mentioned in it. Hopefully that can be remedied. I did check out the...
I love my bray harp, even though I haven't played him as much as I would like to - yet. I have a Campbell Wartburg that I bought new in July (after craving...
wow- i posted this on the 18th and it's just showing up now?????? btw- if you are an HHS member and haven't received your newsletter by now please contact...
okay, so i'm whispering! LOL yeah Larry, I was a bit surprised not to see the yahoo group listed in the newsletter. Flory, are you reading this? Let's be sure...
Hello, Julie, I can't help but know about the Harp meeting next May in Sauder Village; Denise Grupp-Verbon (one of its organizers) is my local teacher. We have...
Well if you decide to go to the "gathering" drop me a line and I'll bring mine perhaps we can compare 'notes' as it were. Otherwise I'll just leave poor old...
Hey all: I bought a "moraharpa" from Bjorn Bjorn of Gotland last year. It's OK, but I've had a few problems with it. The keys clatter and are very noisy. I...
How about a link for those of us who are interested in joining? (And, by the way, there are still many people who use no caps in email as a point of etiquette....

Thanks for all of the ideas so far (please don't stop)! Also it has been interesting to read about how others have been using thier bray harps in ensembles and...
How nice of Kathy to mention UNM's Early Music Ensemble AND our little trio at the library!? Kathy is right about our instructor for the EME class?not really...
People are understandably resistant to new knowledge but at what point do you put your foot down and tell them to smarten up? Most people don't want to be the...
the following disclaimer is being posted by myself to alert everyone reading this that i'm posting as a private citizen who is exercising his right to free...
... I think it's still not clear who had the frame harp first. The 9th C Utrecht Psalter shows one, but so does the 9th C Pictish Aldbar Cross Slab. In both...
peter- is there any iconography for the tiompan? i know giraldus mentioned it, but i have never seen any type of reconstructed instrument that wears this name....
I'll quote Karen Ralls-MacLeod from her book, "Music and the Celtic Otherworld": "So it appears that all we can really conclude, albeit cautiously, is that in...
Gregory: I did a Google Images search, and came up with a number of contemporary images, but no historical iconography. It's apparently a hammered dulcimer,...
