Hi to all Could anyone suggest a book or send me info on practice scales, etc for a small harp (22 string)? I'm useing Pathways to learn songs but want to...
Hello everyone, We've been pretty quiet of late. I think the quiet can be explained by the fact that we had so much activity in November (was it November?)...
Dear Kazzy, There are no exercise books per-se for wire harp at this point. At least not that I know of. There are some exercises in the back of "Traditional ...
Hi Cynthia, nice to see something on the list. I don't know about everyone else, but I've been crazy busy and had some nasty bug on top of it. I'll be looking...
Cynthia, I'm really glad you've decided to work up a Book of Carols. One that I've been trying to learn without much success (because of a key change) is the...
I've been looking for this tune -- and the words and English translation -- but haven't found it yet. Does anyone know where to look? And is is Scottish or...
Gaudete, Gaudete, Christus est Natus Ex Maria Virgine, Gaudete! That's the refrain, which I am humming as we "speak"...love that song! I don't think it's all...
Most of my "arranging energy" is directed at adapting hymns for the wire harp. I'm new to the harp (less than a year) but have a fairly long history of music...
Hi all, I would have to add The Holly and the Ivy, In the Bleak Midwinter, and Once in Royal David's city to the list. It's hard for me to imagine Once in...

I just arranged two hymns for my harp. I play a nylon-strung harp, but it has no levers, so arranging is very much like arranging for wire harp. I've done...
Thank you for the advice...I'll have a go and see what I create *grins* But it's also good to know that I'm not doing anything 'wrong' by not doing scales,...
Greetings I am once again on the harp making kick. I have restarted my harp project and have now cut out the pillar and neck. I am in the process of shaping...
Good luck on the harp-making project! That's one thing I'll never do. I know I'd break a fingernail. :-) Contact Dan Speer at Argent Fox. He makes tuning pins,...
... The problem with levers...well, one problem...is the string spacing. I look at both my Ardival harps and my Lamont copy (which is not Ardival-made) and a...
Some of my favorites that go well on wire: Taladh Chriosta (Christ Child's Lullaby) Entre le Boeuf Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Joy to the World - with...
You might look for Ann Heymann's Christmas album, and ignore the unauthorized (by Ann, anyway) vocals. It's called Christmas in the King's Court. I'm seeing...
I checked, and there are also eight copies available through Amazon's used sellers. Plus, you get a bonus selection of Christmas carols for panpipe! 8-( Pat ...
Greetings Cynthia Thanks for the good wishes, I have broken more than one fingernail making this harp! Still I guess I am going to have to grow them when I...
I'd like to see as many old favourites as you can arrange without going insane, sacred and secular. Also the Huron Carol, (Une Jeune Pucelle), with a literal...
Oh wow! I didn't know Ann had a Xmas CD. Thanks, Pat! Cheers, Donna ... From: "Patricia Vivien Yarrow" <lottiedeno7@...> To: <WireHarp@yahoogroups.com> ...

Maybe, if we all asked really nicely, we could get her to re-record those pieces without the added vocals, and add enough for a full album without the panpipes...
OOOOh! I vote for a re-recording!!! Cheers, Donna ... From: "Patricia Vivien Yarrow" <lottiedeno7@...> To: <WireHarp@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday,...

Hello Reynold, I suggest you check out Robinson's Harp Shop. I believe they have the hardware you are looking for. I've bought plans from them before and made...
