Harp...anyone?

[NursingDaBlues]

My older daughter in high school expressed interest in the harp and I found a harp kit I was going to assemble for her but never did. I think it is a small lap harp. I have to take a look at the box and see what make it is. I still wantto put it together but I doubt she remembers she was interested.

A mandolin playing friend who lives far north of us came to our monthly OT jam years ago and his wife plays harp and it was nice addition to our music, though the repertoire was very different.

Michael Martin Murphy's son Brennan plays the Celtic Harp (sometimes called a Celtic Lap Harp) in his band. It is definitely a beautiful sounding instrument. The YT video isn't the greatest, but maybe you'll get the idea.

Here's what got me into harps and zithers initially, before I ever learned a lick of gaelic trad.

I picked a little tune for the new year...didn't get very far though before my kids came home... https://youtu.be/5MNz4NEel8s

Thank you for inspiring me to get the harp out It's been a while..

I ran into this last week looking for something else. It seems they have Mason on the left channel and Deborah on the right.

That's a wonderful piece of music. The two instruments blend well.

I also noticed they apparently missed Sesame Street when they taught the difference in left and right. That's one of those videos that I go back to periodically because it's done so well.
