Hi All - I've recently been presented with an interesting challenge by a piper: harp and pipe duet on pibroch. He will be using some species of smallpipes,...
Hi All, Wondering if any of you can share your experiences on choosing and working with bog wood.... especially for a sound box. Also any sources for bog...
Hi, Deborah, I can't speak of the pibroch, as I play non-Scottish historical pipes and English and European music on them, but with my wife playing gut strung...
Best of luck with this. What you're looking at is a problem of texture. The pipe is essentially monophonic (single melodic line) with an added drone. The harp...

The Alison Kinnaird piece is indeed Cumha Crann Nan Teud (The Lament For The Harp Key) and it's on the Harp Key recording, gut strung harp. If you don't have...
Hi, Dr. David Holmes-Smith indicated that he would like to use Bristlecone pine for his harps. Bristlecone only grows on private land, and is not available for...
So how does it happen that in 2000 BCE this tree knew where to grow so that it wouldn't accidently end up on public land now? Or was there a successful...
Hi, My mom (a botanist) has seen it both in Utah and the Sierra Nevadas. She says there are two species, and wonders if maybe you could get a permit from the...

Somehow, I'd be unwilling to cut down a 4,000-year-old tree to build a harp. BTW, according to a couple of sources, those are a protected species. The Forest...
I know that Ardival Harps uses Scottish sycamore wood for their harps, and it's taken from old trees which blow down. If a tree is extremely rare then I...
I think a reasonable substitute for bristlecone pine might be yellow cedar. It's fine textured, straight grained, and one of the hardest softwoods. Beautiful...
I have a beutful Triplett (wire) Luna harp that needs a new home. The wood is maple with beautiful celtic carvings. It has 35 brass and bronze strings with a...

JK, Please note that this is a list dedicated to wire strung harps, not harmonicas - which I realise are also called harps... but somehow not the same. Grin!...
In response to all... Where we live, a fire wood permit can be obtained from the forestry service for fallen dead trees of Bristlecone Pine. To leave them...

Hello list: I have a Triplett 25-string wire-strung harp I would like to sell. I have had it for a couple of years but didn't get very far with wire technique,...
Simon, I believe a harp similar to the one attached was found in a bog in Scotland and may predate the Trinity and Saint Mary's by many hundreds of years. This...
