Greetings to all! I hope someone will not mind answering a couple of newbie questions. I'm Lynda, and I play a nylon strung harp (for about 6 months now)....
... Lots of questions are good! I'll try a stab at these. The sound of wire will be different if you play with pads as opposed to nails. It's similar to the...
I've been a bit bored at work and was browsing the web when I came across this piece writen by John Sankey about the Irish Wire Strung Harp. The main bulk of...
