Hello everyone, I took a hiatus from the clarsach last year after many years of playing. I wanted to give the Celtic style fiddle a try. I tried it. A...
... Don't you mean *to CB* or was there a harping tradition there, like the Welsh harp in Argentina, that died out? Occasionally I'll mention to people that...
Well, "to CB" would be more accurate, in the sense of "to the island." But I tend to think of the task as more like bringing the harp back to the Gaels who...
Hi Cliff, Are you going to do this CB re-intro of harp stuff through Gaelic College? I heard they had a harp track though I don't know who it was that taught...
Hi Janet, I do plan to ask the Gaelic College to allow me to host demos and teach at their facility. They do offer harp courses. I spent a couple weeks there...
Dia dhiobh go leir! Hi everyone! This is to let you know that the Historical Harp Society of Ireland's fourth Scoil na gClairseach–Summer School of Early...
Oh, I'm torn now. Do I attend the Gaelic College of Cape Breton and promote the embryonic Cape Breton Gaelic Harp Society, or do I go to Ireland and immerse ...
With my first harp built in the historic tradition of the small Gaelic harps coming in a few weeks, I am finding I need to learn a few skills I did not pick up...
Hi all, Well, as some of you know, after a lot of hemming and hawing, and going back and forth, I have decided to put my Witcher Patrick Ball harp up for sale....

Cliff, If there are no access holes in the back, either the back comes off as on many old clarsachs or there are retaining pins that hold the strings in from...
But please beware, if you don't already know this one, of simply taking off the back without slackening each string a bit in turn first. There's a good chance...
Thanks for your help everyone, I think I have it figured out. My old Triplett Avalon had access holes in back, so it was easy. The new Trinity doesn't so it...
Oops. I guess I should have mentioned that. Craig Craig R. Pierpont Another Era Lutherie www.anotherera.com WireHarp@yahoogroups.com wrote: Date: Sun, 5 Feb...
... Craig is correct. There are also harps, like the one Bill Taylor uses in his demonstration on clarsach.net, where you can poke the string/toggle assembly...
I am pleased to say that the formation of the Gaelic Harp Society of Cape Breton continues to move along well. It's so early still, but we have a couple Brian...
On my Witcher, there is one string that has a buzz. Just one. I've tried all the standard fixes and can't find out what's going on. Very frustrating. But...
I'm thinking technically: the problems with the buzz. What fixes have you tried already? Slainte, Cliff ... The Celt's Cauldron & Wildwood Online School...
... Cliff has asked the very question I was going to ask. Now, it occurs to me that maybe it would be a good idea to gather together the "buzz problems" and...
Lol! That reminds me of the time I was practicing harp in our little music shop. On the three lowest bass notes I got a buzz. A very strange buzz, for it ...

Hmm, a database sounds like a good idea, Cynthia. Okay, here's what I've tried. I've tried looking for adjacent ends of strings along the harmonic curve....
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but you might check to see if any of the shoes have developed a space between their 'head' and the soundboard. ...
One tricky place for a buzz to hide is at the tuning pin. If the string touches the prior wrap as it falls, it may vibrate against that wrap and buzz. Did that...
... This was exactly the problem with my nylon harp this past summer. We had a very long dry spell, and a buzz started - it could be reduced by pushing in...
