HI all, I am finally getting ready to take the plunge, and am thinking about either a Triplett 25 or a Stoney End harp. The Triplett's seem very nice, and I...
I recently had to substitute a bronze string for one of the brass strings on my harp. It was one of the short strings at the top end. I was out of brass wire...

Hello Melangell, I bought a Triplett 25-string wire harp last year via Sylvia Woods Harp Center. I don't have any complaints. I'm sure not as good as the...

Is it the brass-strung "Clairseach" that you are considering? Well built and a good value, but I find it a little awkward to handle. The pillar and neck are...
My suggestion would be to read the post of this list from day one and get a handle on the types of instruments that are available and what their individual...
Hi There! I mentioned I'd post this once it was available, so here it is! I went last year for my first time and I had an absolute blast! For the Wire Harp...

This is really weird! There hasn't been a single post on *any* of the five harp-related lists that I'm on.... Granted, those 5 are not the biggest busiest...
Well, I'm here! But I've been very busy writing some new music, and arranging other new music, and then the worst part: learning to play what I've written and...
Hi, Sheilia! I'm here. Haven't practiced very much this week, because I have the flu, and no energy for music, but David has finished repairing the sad crack...
Just this minute finished stringing a 5 inch white-stoneware harp I fired yesterday with a dark blue glaze. Used old bronze wire. Have now memorized Ann...
... I'll second that. I've been horribly sick with a flu and last four weeks and haven't felt like playing or sitting at my computer. I haven't even played...
I went to the BAFHS page and attempted to download the registration form, but all I got was a blank page. (I do have adobe acrobat downloaded.) Joan Marianne...
Well, I know I am not a frequent poster to this list, (I am however, an ardent lurker) but now I have a great reason to come out of lurk mode again. You may...

For what its worth..... The only person I know who has actually measured the Ottway Harp is Jay Witcher. Since Jay started making small harps in 1970 in ...
Hi, Sorry to be so long winded but here's a bit more information that I got from Jay. Jay says that one aspect of wire harps that is spoken of over and over...
... Oh there's no way you could be too long winded for my tastes at this point. I'm hungry for all the info I can get!!! (Especially if you are able to talk to...

There will be a Celtic Harp Event in Portland Maine April 16 from 12:30 to 4:30 at the Maine Irish Center. There will be both Nylon and Wire Harps at this...
