Description

The Historical Harp Society has been formed for friends of the harp interested in the exchange of ideas and information about early harps, their construction, and their music. The Society encourages research on the building of early harps.

It is hoped that through this list, interested folks will consider supporting the HHS by becoming members. For further information, please visit the HHS web site.

The Goals of the HHS are:
* To cultivate, foster, sponsor, and develop appreciation of the art, history, literature and uses of historical harps.
* To promote appreciation of and to raise the level of proficiency in the performance and use of historical harps.
* To keep historical harp makers and performers, along with other friends of the historical harp, informed about literature and activities pertaining to historical harps, and to provide occasions for them to meet.
* To promote the use of historical harps as professional instruments, and to encourage their use among amateurs.
* To encourage the reconstruction of historical harps.
* To collect and disseminate information regarding the construction of and performance upon historical harps.

Postings – please post on any of the following topics:
1) Questions related to any of the above topics.
2) Concert or Events announcements. Announcements of official society events can be found on the HHS website; local concerts and events should be posted here.
3) Member personal news.
