Hello All, I would like to announce a project that is underway to build a recreation of the telyn rawn, the ancient horsehair harp of Wales. We have been...
I am amazed at the number of different types of harps out there. Is there a harp that is better for people who want to sing and accompany themselves on the...
I've sung with a lap harp, celtic harp, electric harp, troubador harp, and semi-grand pedal harp. The key is making sure you have good posture, good breathing...
I'll second all of Evangeline's observations. I have sung and played for many years on my guitar, and I've also sung with my own lute-playing, when the part's...
I'm new to singing while accompanying myself on the harp, too. But another issue, it seems to me, is how strongly you play the harp. If you use great...
Some of the considerations: Are you singing with or without a mic and PA system? If you are working unamplified, have you had some voice training for...
I imagine it depends on what you're singing. If you're singing medieval and renaissance European and Welsh music you'll want a bray harp, for Irish and...
On the Scottish songs that's going to depend on whether they're in English, Scots or Gaelic. I think songs in Scots or English would be more appropriately...
Ah, I was thinking from a historical perspective rather than a modern one and pairing the harp with the time period. Examples are Ann Heymann, Siobhan...
True - but I'd still say for Lowland Scottish music the gut would be the historical choice. See Kinnaird and Sanger, Tree of Strings: Crann nan Teud: A...

Hello Historical Harp Folk!  The document submitted with this email dated 101/08, states that "The dealine for submissions is June 30, 2006."  Are...
Hi all there is a quite interesting bray harp on ebay currently item #320314954340 It says it is a 24 gut string bray harp built in France about 20 years ago....
Interesting..but I have *never* seen a harp that built exactly like a triangle. The closest historical model harps that are exactly like a triangle are...
Hello everyone, I want to say thank you for all the feedback you've given. It sounds like there are several considerations. What repertoire will I be singing?...
Trés intéressant. Notice that the pillar appears to be designed as a second sound box. The line of the strings is curved somewhat even though the neck is...
I wrote to the seller, she said there is a hair line crack near the signature on the neck that did not show in the photos. She is after her weekend garage...
In researching very early harps, I have come across a number of depictions of what appear to be triangular harps in the "psalter" iconography. Ron Cook has...
Adding to Larry's comments: Many harps in 12th and 13th century iconography are roughly in the shape of an equilateral triangle. Most of these that seem to...
It'd be really hard to tell without seeing it, but it may be possible to repair it without doing a full replacement. These harps are usually tuned at a low...
I just broke a bray pin on my little gothic harp- it wasn't bad- the head just removed from the post as I tried to adjust it. I have super- glued it back...
I haven't tried it, but super glue is pretty brittle. You might have better luck with wood glue, clamping it overnight to keep it really tight. ... From:...
